Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The phosphate lithium-ion conductor Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ti 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) is an economically attractive solid electrolyte for the fabrication of safe and robust solid-state batteries, but high sintering temperatures pose a material engineering challenge for the fabrication of cell components. In particular, the high surface roughness of composite cathodes resulting from enhanced crystal growth is detrimental to their integration into cells with practical energy density. In this work, we demonstrate that efficient free-standing ceramic cathodes of LATP and LiFePO 4 (LFP) can be produced by using a scalable tape casting process. This is achieved by adding 5 wt % of Li 2 WO 4 (LWO) to the casting slurry and optimizing the fabrication process. LWO lowers the sintering temperature without affecting the phase composition of the materials, resulting in mechanically stable, electronically conductive, and free-standing cathodes with a smooth, homogeneous surface. The optimized cathode microstructure enables the deposition of a thin polymer separator attached to the Li metal anode to produce a cell with good volumetric and gravimetric energy densities of 289 Wh dm –3 and 180 Wh kg –1, respectively, on the cell level and Coulombic efficiency above 99% after 30 cycles at 30 °C.
