Abstract

Poor electrode/solid electrolyte interface contacts and interface stabilities limit the normal operation and practical applications of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) at room temperature. Herein, a facile, moderate-temperature formation method was described to improve the interface between the garnet-type solid electrolyte and electrode material, giving ASSLMBs good electrochemical performance, even at room temperature (25 °C). During this moderate-temperature formation method, the ASSLMBs were charged/discharged once at 100 °C. Consequently, the interface impedance between the Li metal anode and garnet-type solid electrolyte decreased, but more importantly, this method formed a stable interface with higher ionic conductivity between the LiFePO4 composite cathode and garnet-type solid electrolyte via the decomposition of Li2CO3 between the cathode and solid electrolyte. Therefore, the total internal resistance of the ASSLMBs was reduced by half at 25 °C compared with after simply heating at 100 °C. The discharge capacity at 0.05 C and 25 °C increased from 20 to 120 mAh g−1, and the batteries showed a stable cyclability of 100 cycles with 99% Coulombic efficiency. The moderate-temperature formation method was beneficial to promote the application of room temperature, all-solid-state batteries.
