Average hydrodynamic radius analysis reveals critical solvation thresholds in high-concentration lithium electrolytes

Understanding the solvation structures of lithium salts in carbonate- and ether-based electrolytes is central to explaining the exceptional stability of high-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) and localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs). Conventional techniques such as vibrational spectroscopy and one-dimensional NMR provide only limited information, typically restricted to coordination ratios and ion-pair distributions, without revealing the actual size and mass of solution complexes. Here, in this study, we introduce an average hydrodynamic radius (AHR) analysis based on internally referenced DOSY NMR, which enables direct estimation of the average volume and molecular weight of lithium–solvent complexes in solution. Using LiFSI–EMC and LiFSI–EMC–TTE electrolytes, we demonstrate that the onset of effective lithium metal stabilization and aluminum corrosion suppression coincides with the formation of very large complexes, whose average volume exceeds 300 times that of free EMC molecules. This finding supports a new “blocking mechanism,” wherein bulky solvated complexes impede direct solvent access to reactive surfaces. The AHR analysis thus not only clarifies the fundamental origin of HCE and LHCE effectiveness, but also provides a broadly applicable experimental framework for probing complex solvation structures and guiding rational electrolyte design.

Rational Design of Weakly‐Solvating Molecules for Salt‐In‐Pre‐Ionic‐Liquid Electrolytes for Li Metal Batteries

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) promise step‐changes in energy densities but suffer from poor cycle life due to unstable electrolyte‐lithium interfaces. Conventional carbonate electrolytes exhibit excessive lithium‐ion solvation and low oxidative stability, leading to rapid capacity loss. Herein, we report a rationally designed weakly‐solvating cyclic sulfonamide, 1‐trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide pyrrolidine (TFMSPyr), which integrates an electron‐withdrawing trifluoromethanesulfonyl functional group at pyrrolidinic‐N. TFMSPyr acts as a pre‐ionic‐liquid solvent that forms intrinsically localized, anion‐dominated solvation, coupling molecular architecture, solvation topology, and transport dynamics. As a result, LiFSI based salt‐in‐pre‐ionic‐liquid (SIPIL) electrolytes exhibit high lithium‐ion transference number, oxidative stability > 5 V versus Li/Li + and anion‐derived solid electrolyte interphases (SEI). Li||Cu cells with SIPIL deliver a first cycle Coulombic efficiency (CE) of ≈ 99% with average CE of 99.2% for 100 cycles, and lithium half‐cells with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode exhibit 82% capacity retention after 400 cycles with CE of 99.98%. In anode‐free full cells, 95% of initial capacity is retained after 63 cycles with an average CE of 99.5%. These results demonstrate that molecular engineering of solvents offers a powerful pathway to stabilize lithium metal interfaces and enable practical Anodeless LMBs.

Establishing the Stability of Cross-Linked Poly(ethylene oxide) Blended with Poly(pentyl malonate) against Lithium Metal Anodes

This work focuses on an electrolyte obtained by infusing linear poly(pentyl malonate) (PPM) chains into cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). A lithium salt is added to enable ion transport. Obtaining this electrolyte is only possible because PPM is miscible with PEO irrespective of salt concentration. The properties of this electrolyte are compared against two benchmarks: an electrolyte obtained by infusing linear PEO into cross-linked PEO and cross-linked PEO with no added linear polymer. Measurements of storage moduli and ion transport efficacies are found to be similar across the three electrolytes, suggesting similar stability behavior against lithium metal anodes, based on current theoretical models. Instead, the PPM infused electrolyte outperforms the other two electrolytes. In the cycling tests, the current supported by the PPM infused electrolyte was a factor of 20 higher than that of the PEO infused electrolyte and a factor of 4 higher than that of the cross-linked PEO electrolyte. In the unidirectional plating experiments, the other two electrolytes fail after about 4 h or less, while the PPM containing electrolyte did not fail during the 140 h testing period. Insight into the nature of failure modes was obtained using synchrotron hard X-ray microtomography.

Conformal hetero-electrolyte interface between soft oxyhalides and garnet enables low-pressure lithium-reservoir-free solid-state batteries

The operation of solid-state batteries with a lithium metal anode and a high voltage cathode requires solid electrolytes (SEs) that are chemically stable with lithium, have a wide electrochemical window, and accommodate volume changes in the electrodes. Unfortunately, no SE has exhibited satisfactory mechanical and electrochemical properties that fit these requirements to date. Dual solid electrolyte systems that use a different SE for the anolyte and catholyte present a viable solution. Here, we focus on oxyhalide SEs that demonstrate superior ionic conductivity and cathode compatibility, where their lithium metal reactivity and poor reduction stability can be resolved using a lithium garnet (Li 6.5 La 3 Zr 1.5 Ta 0.5 O 12 , LLZTO) separator. Nonetheless, this imposes a new hetero-electrolyte (H-E) interface at the anolyte|catholyte contact that defines the ion transport across the boundary. We report its promising properties, which are deconvoluted from the electrical measurements of bilayer symmetric cells, for three representative oxyhalide catholytes, LiNbOCl 4 , LiTaOCl 4 , and Li 3 Al 3 O 2 Cl 8 . Pressure-dependent measurements reveal that the relative softness of the oxyhalides (hardness ≤0.4 GPa) enables H-E resistances lower than 150 Ω cm 2 at 2–3 MPa. Mesoscale modelling reveals that the transfer-active contact area of oxyhalides with LLZTO is about 2–3-fold higher than that of argyrodite, Li 6 PS 5 Cl. The low H-E resistance of the LiNbOCl 4 |Li 6.5 La 3 Zr 1.5 Ta 0.5 O 12 dual electrolyte enables the cycling of a Li|LiNi 0.82 Mn 0.07 Co 0.11 O 2 full cell with a high discharge capacity (200 mA h g −1 ) at 60 °C and ∼7 MPa. Importantly, we demonstrate a Li-reservoir-free full cell with high Coulombic efficiency (>99.5%) and capacity at 1 MPa using this approach coupled with a garnet-silver interlayer.

Strategic Melamine Coating on Lithium Metal for Li 3 N-Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphase and Improved Battery Cycling Stability

The practical applications of lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs) are limited by challenges such as dendrite formation and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), especially at higher C-rates. Here, this study introduces melamine-coated Li metal anodes (LMAs), forming a Li 3 N-rich SEI layer that improves ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. The optimized melamine-coated LMA demonstrated uniform coverage resulting in denser Li deposition, nearly doubled cycle life (~148 cycles at 0.5 C, 1C = 4.1 mA cm -2 ), compared to Bare-Li. These findings emphasize that coating materials-induced beneficial SEI components could lead to improvement of LMB performance.

Enhanced cycling stability of Ni-rich Li-metal cells enabled by dual vinylene carbonate and tris(trimethylsilyl)borate electrolyte additives

NMC811 (LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 ) and other high-Ni chemistries are promising cathode candidates for high-performance electric vehicles, owing to their high energy density and reduced cobalt content. However, their long-term cycling stability is hindered by surface degradation, particularly when paired with conventional electrolytes and a lithium metal anode. Electrolyte additives represent a practical approach to enhance interfacial stability and improve overall battery performance by promoting the formation of a robust electrolyte–electrode interphase (EEI). In this study, we revisit the effects of vinylene carbonate (VC) and tris(trimethylsilyl)borate (TMSB) additives on single-crystal SC-NMC811||Li cells. While TMSB only increases the open-circuit voltage and initial overpotential, it delivers superior capacity retention at C/3 compared to cells containing only VC or a dual additive system (VC and TMSB). Notably, under fast-charging conditions (1C, 2C, and 5C), the dual-additive system significantly outperforms other formulations, achieving markedly enhanced long-term capacity retention. Comprehensive electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses reveal that the VC/TMSB dual-additive system suppresses surface transition in NMC811, mitigates structural degradation by forming a thin, LiF-deficient cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) layer. Moreover, they promote smooth and dense Li deposition and generate a LiF-deficient solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Consequently, the synergistic stabilization of both the CEI and SEI effectively limits the overall cell impedance growth during extended cycling. These findings provide key insights into co-additive strategies for engineering stable interfaces in high-energy Ni-rich Li-metal batteries.

Structure-Dependent Lithium Metal Reactivity of Lithium Lanthanum Titanium Oxide Solid Electrolytes

Ongoing efforts to design stable, ionically conductive solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for next-generation solid-state batteries make it clear that both long and short-range structural order strongly influence materials performance. However, clear structure-property relationships are generally lacking, making it difficult to develop design rules for improving the (electro) chemical stability of SSEs. Here, in this work, we synthesize epitaxial, single-crystal lithium lanthanum titanium oxide (LLTO) films and demonstrate that the kinetics of Ti 4+ reduction and lithium intercalation depend sensitively on the crystal orientation, with electrochemical stability increasing as LLTO (001) < (110) similar to (112) < (100). However, thermodynamic stability is ultimately unaffected-all orientations fully reduce after extended contact with Li metal. In contrast, amorphous LLTO films exhibit minimal, self-limiting reactivity that results in an interface that is stable to extended contact with Li metal. The results demonstrate the potential to engineer crystal lattice strain and long-range order to differentially tune the stability of the solid electrolyte toward reactive lithium metal and cathode materials, suggesting strategies for enabling the wider deployment of LLTO and other ionically conductive ceramic films in advanced energy storage technologies

Plasticizer-Free Gradient-Crosslinked Polyurethane Electrolyte for Room-Temperature Solid-State Lithium Batteries

Polymer-based solid-state electrolytes are promising for next-generation lithium metal batteries, yet their limited ionic conductivity and mechanical stability at ambient conditions remain key challenges. Herein, we report a novel gradient crosslinked polymer electrolyte (PU/PUA/PU) synthesized via a sequential in situ UV-curing process that integrates a mechanically robust polyurethane acrylate (PUA) core with soft linear polyurethane (PU) interfaces. This all-solid membrane operates without any liquid plasticizer and the interfacial PU layers ensure low interfacial resistance and intimate electrode contact, while the PUA core provides enhanced dimensional stability and dendrite suppression. As a result, the gradient electrolyte delivers an impressive ∼2.6 × 10 −4 S cm −1 ionic conductivity at 25 °C (two orders of magnitude higher than conventional PEO) and remains electrochemically stable >5 V (vs Li + /Li). Structural analysis confirms the formation of a well-defined crosslinked network with suppressed crystallinity and expanded interchain spacing. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) further validate these properties. When applied in a Li||NMC811 cell, the PU/PUA/PU electrolyte delivers stable cycling with high capacity at both 60 °C and 25 °C, demonstrating its potential for room-temperature solid-state battery applications without reliance on plasticizers or heating. In conclusion, this gradient design offers a practical path toward ambient-condition operation of solid-state lithium batteries, providing a paradigm for overcoming the traditional trade-off between ionic conductivity and mechanical robustness.

Modeling the influence of the solid electrolyte interphase on the sand’s time and dendrite formation on lithium metal electrodes

Lithium metal is a sought after battery material for its high energy density due to the low electrochemical potential and density. However, lithium metal is also highly reactive, which results in a strong propensity for dendrite formation. The Sand’s time has previously been used to predict the time of dendrite initiation on metals that do not form a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), but it has been shown that the Sand’s time is not accurate for lithium electrodes when using transport parameters associated with the electrolyte. Thus, we built a numerical model to simulate lithium ion transport through a growing SEI to predict the Sand’s time. The numerical model is shown to be more accurate than previous analytical solutions, especially for low current densities. We then analyze the sensitivity of the Sand’s time to different SEI properties and the chemical potential gradients present in the SEI, driving lithium transport. The results showed that high lithium concentration has a greater impact at high current density, while fast diffusivity is more important at low current density. Lastly, we modeled the influence of surface roughness on the plating evolution and chemical potential gradients when an SEI is present in comparison to the electrolyte. As a result, we demonstrate that the SEI plays a critical role in lithium electrode stability, and that improved characterization techniques are needed to better understand transport through the SEI and increase lithium metal utilization in energy storage devices.

Novel Zwitterionic Polyurethane-in-Salt Electrolytes with High Ion Conductivity, Elasticity, and Adhesion for High-Performance Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

This study presents a novel polymer-in-salt (PIS) zwitterionic polyurethane-based solid polymer electrolyte (zPU-SPE) that offers high ionic conductivity, strong interaction with electrodes, and excellent mechanical and electrochemical stabilities, making it promising for high-performance all solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). The zPU-SPE exhibits remarkable lithium-ion (Li+) conductivity (3.7 × 10⁻⁴ S cm−1 at 25 °C), enabled by exceptionally high salt loading of up to 90 wt.% (12.6 molar ratio of Li salt to polymer unit) without phase separation. It addresses the limitations of conventional SPEs by combining high ionic conductivity with a Li+ transference number of 0.44, achieved through the incorporation of zwitterionic groups that enhance ion dissociation and transport. The high surface energy (338.4 J m−2) and elasticity ensure excellent adhesion to Li anodes, reducing interfacial resistance and ensuring uniform Li+ flux. When tested in Li||zPU||LiFePO₄ and Li||zPU||S/C cells, the zPU-SPE demonstrated remarkable cycling stability, retaining 76% capacity after 2000 cycles with the LiFePO4 cathode, and achieving 84% capacity retention after 300 cycles with the S/C cathode. Molecular simulations and a range of experimental characterizations confirm the superior structural organization of the zPU matrix, contributing to its outstanding electrochemical performance. The findings strongly suggest that zPU-SPE is a promising candidate for next-generation ASSLBs.

Interface-induced fast Li+ transport in mixed ionic–electronic conductors

Interfacial instability between lithium metal and solid-state electrolytes limits the performance of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLBs), leading to parasitic reactions, non-uniform Li+ flux, and dendrite growth. Here, we develop a composite interlayer composed of the anti-perovskite Li2OHCl0.75Br0.25 (AP) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to enhance both interfacial stability and ionic transport. The AP–CNT interlayer exhibits enhanced Li+ conductivity arising from interfacial electron transfer from AP to CNTs, which generates a built-in electric field that facilitates Li+ migration. Lithium symmetric cells incorporating this interlayer achieve a high critical current density of 2.4 mA cm−2 at 55 °C. This design integrates chemical robustness with coupled ion–electron transport, offering a generalizable strategy for safe, dendrite-free, and high-performance ASSLBs.

Generative Electrolyte Solvent and Formulation Discovery

Molecular mixtures and/or formulations are of great importance in fields ranging from materials science to pharmaceuticals to chemistry. In batteries, electrolytes are complex molecular mixtures consisting of multiple salts and solvents and additives at different concentrations that dictate battery capacity, safety, and cycle life, among others. Unfortunately, due to the complex composition and infinite design space as well as the conflicting property requirements, electrolyte design is the rate-determining step in the design of next generation battery chemistries. In this work, we develop a transformer-based generative AI model − ElectrolyteGPT − capable of generating solvents and electrolyte formulations to satisfy a wide range of desired property requirements. First, we curate an electrolyte-relevant database and develop a new line notation for formulations. Then, we show that ElectrolyteGPT can generate solvents and formulations conditioned on a wide range of important electrolyte properties such as ionic conductivity, oxidative stability, Coulombic efficiency, viscosity, and more. Finally, we experimentally synthesize the generated solvents and fabricate the electrolyte formulations and show that they can meet the desired property requirements and enable longterm cycling in energy-dense anode-free lithium metal batteries. Our work showcases the ability of generative models to address challenges in molecular mixture design for next generation batteries.

Heat Transfer Fluids as Co‐Diluents in Localized High‐Concentration Electrolytes for High‐Rate Lithium Metal Batteries With Enhanced Safety

Localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) have been identified as promising electrolyte formulations for lithium metal batteries, due to their effective interphase formation and promotion of compact Li deposition, yet their practical implementation is often limited by reduced ion transport kinetics. In this study, two industrially established fluorinated ethers are identified for the first time in battery research as effective co-diluents as they combine a broad electrochemical stability window with a low viscosity and intrinsic non-flammability. Incorporating these components, commonly used as heat transfer fluids, yields safer, less flammable electrolyte formulations with enhanced ion mobilities. In particular, the ternary co-diluent formulation shows improved ion mobility by reducing the electrolyte's viscosity while limiting excessive ion clustering. Based on the improved electrolyte transport kinetics, lower overvoltages and higher Coulombic efficiencies at current densities ≥ 1 mA cm −2 are achieved with the ternary co-diluent blend, resulting in markedly extended cycle life in an application-oriented zero-excess pouch cell compared with the baseline system. Complementary electrochemical and ex situ analysis of harvested electrodes at moderate current densities reveals no discernible differences in interphase morphology and composition, suggesting enhanced ion mobility as the primary cause of the improved high-rate performance.

Stabilizing Cathode–Electrolyte Interphase of Nickel-Rich Single-Crystal Cathodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Nickel-rich single-crystal (SC) layered oxides are promising cathode candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high energy density and structural robustness against intergranular cracking. However, their intrinsic surface reactivity with liquid electrolytes accelerates parasitic reactions at the cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI), leading to transition-metal dissolution, gas generation, and impedance buildup. In this work, we synthesized SC-Li x Ni 0.9 Mn 0.05 Co 0.05 O 2 (NMC9055, 1 ≤ x ≤ 1.2) using a eutectic-assisted method and investigated interface stabilization strategies. A nickel-deficient Li x Ni 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC622, 1 ≤ x ≤ 1.2) coating was applied via evaporation-based deposition to suppress CEI degradation pathways. Structural and compositional analyses confirmed uniform shell formation and preserved particle integrity. Half-cell electrochemical testing against lithium metal revealed ∼10% higher capacity retention and improved reversibility compared with pristine SC NMC9055, particularly under high-voltage operation. In conclusion, these results highlight the critical role of controlled surface chemistry in mitigating CEI instability in nickel-rich SC cathodes, offering a pathway toward enabling durable high-energy LIBs.

Lattice-Oxygen-Driven Selective Oxidation Strategy for Stable Argyrodite Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) with Li6PS5Cl argyrodite electrolytes and high-voltage LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathodes offer high energy density but suffer from rapid capacity fading due to the layered-to-rock-salt transition of NMC811 and structural degradation of Li6PS5Cl from parasitic interfacial reactions. Here, we demonstrate a catholyte engineering strategy using a Li2S scavenging additive to suppress interfacial reactivity and preserve the structural and electrochemical stability of both NMC811 and Li6PS5Cl. Incorporating 0.10 wt.% Li2S enables exceptional cycling stability, achieving 76% capacity retention after 550 cycles at C/10 and 88% retention after 800 cycles at C/3 at 60 degrees C, compared with rapid failure in pristine cells. Spectroscopic, electrochemical, and morphological analyses confirm that Li2S maintains electrode integrity by sustaining particle contact and suppressing phase decomposition. This work elucidates interfacial degradation pathways in NMC811/argyrodite systems and introduces a low-cost, scalable strategy to stabilize nickel-rich oxide cathodes in ASSLMBs, advancing their practical viability.

A Holistic Stabilization of the Anode in Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries Through a Ternary Alloy Fusion

The anode in lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) is plagued by not only inhomogeneous lithium (Li) deposition, but also by parasitic side-reactions. Often, a thick anode (∼400 µm) is used to compensate for these drawbacks, lowering gravimetric and volumetric energy densities. In this work, we demonstrate a ternary alloy anode fabricated via scalable thermal fusion of Li with aluminum (Al) and tellurium (Te) to cohesively address these issues. The Al–Li skeleton serves to homogenize Li deposition as well as reinforce the anode, allowing it to be rolled down to low thicknesses. Te incorporation suppresses the reaction of Li with polysulfides (Li 2 Sn) to form lithium sulfide (Li 2 S) and electrolyte degradation. It can also facilitate the formation of polytellurosulfides (Li 2 Te x Sy), which are far more conducive to Li + -ion diffusion. Even under a lean electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio of 8 µL mg −1 and a low negative/positive (N/P) ratio of 3, capacities over 900 mA h g −1 at a C/5 rate are obtained in cells with Li–Te–Al anodes with a capacity retention of 80% after 70 cycles. In comparison, the baseline lithium-metal anode retains only 35% after 50 cycles. Furthermore, the Li–Te–Al anodes confer a 24% boost to gravimetric energy density at the pouch cell level.

Long‐Life Lithium‐Metal Batteries with an Ultra‐High‐Nickel Cathode and Electrolytes with Bi‐Anion Activity

Abstract Anion chemistry in electrolytes can greatly dictate the nature and quality of passivation layers on both cathode and anode surfaces. This will be more significant when it comes to highly reactive Li‐metal anode and aggressive high‐nickel cathodes. Herein, a competitive bi‐anion activity is found in electrolytes with the co‐existence of two anions, which leads to a controlled Li‐salt decomposition kinetics and entirely favorable interphasial chemistry on both Li‐metal anode and ultrahigh‐nickel cathode. The proposed bi‐anion localized high‐concentration electrolytes are demonstrated to exhibit superior electrochemical compatibility toward Li metal and long‐term cycling stabilities under both 4.4 and 4.6 V in Li‐metal batteries with ultrahigh‐nickel cathode. This study sheds fresh light on dendrite‐free Li‐metal anodes and provides guidance to achieve high‐energy‐density batteries.

Interlayer Design for Halide Electrolytes in All‐Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

Abstract All‐solid‐state lithium‐metal batteries (ASSLMBs) are promising for transportation electrification due to their superior safety and high energy density. Lithium halide electrolytes provide excellent processing flexibility, high ionic conductivity, and anodic stability (>4.1 V), making them highly compatible with high‐voltage cathodes, surpassing sulfide electrolytes (<2.1 V). Nevertheless, halide electrolytes suffer from low cathodic stability and form an electronically conductive interphase with lithium, resulting in a critical current density (CCD) of nearly zero. Herein, Li 3 YbCl 6 electrolytes are synthesized that are kinetically stable with lithium by forming an electronic insulating solid electrolyte interphase. Guided by critical overpotential criteria, a PI 3 interlayer is designed that transforms into Li 6 PI 3 upon contact with lithium, substantially reducing the interfacial resistance of Li 3 YbCl 6 against lithium to 34 Ω and achieving a high critical overpotential of 114 mV. By substituting Yb with Lu, Li 3 LuCl 6 electrolytes with Li 6 PI 3 interlayers reach a CCD of 1.0 mA cm −2 at a capacity of 1.0 mAh cm −2 , comparable to sulfide electrolytes but with higher oxidation stability. Additionally, Li 6 PI 3 enables stable cycling of Li//Li cells with Li 3 LuCl 6 electrolytes at 0.5 mA cm −2 for 400 cycles and maintains 86.5% capacity in Li//LiCoO 2 cells after 220 cycles at 30 °C, paving the way for high‐performance ASSLMBs.
