Abstract

Interphase layers that form at contact points between the solid electrolyte (SE) and cathode active material in solid‐state lithium‐ion batteries (SS‐LIBs) increase cell impedance, but the mechanisms for this interphase formation are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate a simple workflow to study cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI) formation using 4D‐scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D‐STEM) that does not require SS‐LIB assembly. We show benefits of MoCl5:EtOH as a chemical delithiating agent, and prepare chemically delithiated cathode LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 (NMC) powder in contact with Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) SE powder as a SS‐LIB CEI surrogate. We map the composition and structure of the CEI layers using 4D‐STEM, energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), and electron pair distribution function analysis (ePDF). EDS indicates O migration from NMC into LGPS. ePDF analysis indicates sulfate and phosphate formation localized on the surface of LGPS, as well as Li2O formation within the LGPS phase, and self‐decomposition of NMC. These results are consistent with an electrochemical self‐discharge mechanism for interphase formation arising from coupled redox reactions of sulfur oxidation in LGPS and transition metal reduction in NMC. This suggests that coatings which stop anion transport but allow Li+ and e transport may prevent interphase formation and reduce impedance in SS‐LIBs.

期刊介绍: Established in 2011, Advanced Energy Materials is an international, interdisciplinary, English-language journal that focuses on materials used in energy harvesting, conversion, and storage. It is regarded as a top-quality journal alongside Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, and Small. With a 2022 Impact Factor of 27.8, Advanced Energy Materials is considered a prime source for the best energy-related research. The journal covers a wide range of topics in energy-related research, including organic and inorganic photovoltaics, batteries and supercapacitors, fuel cells, hydrogen generation and storage, thermoelectrics, water splitting and photocatalysis, solar fuels and thermosolar power, magnetocalorics, and piezoelectronics. The readership of Advanced Energy Materials includes materials scientists, chemists, physicists, and engineers in both academia and industry. The journal is indexed in various databases and collections, such as Advanced Technologies & Aerospace Database, FIZ Karlsruhe, INSPEC (IET), Science Citation Index Expanded, Technology Collection, and Web of Science, among others.
