In Situ Electrochemical Interfacial Manipulation Enabling Lithiophilic Li Metal Anode with Inorganic-Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphases for Stable Li Metal Batteries
Lithium-metal anodes (LMAs) are the ultimate choice for realizing high-energy-density batteries; however, its use is hindered by problematic Li growth in the form of dendrites. To alleviate dendritic Li growth, the preparation of LMAs with a lithiophilic current collector (CC) is effective; however, applying a lithiophilic CC to LMAs is still challenging due to the manufacturing complexity involved in the separate lithiophilic treatment and lithiation processes. Herein, a facile one-pot LMA fabrication method by utilizing thiourea (TU) as a precursor is proposed. A lithiophilic Cu2S layer is formed on Cu foam (CF) by the in situ electrochemical oxidation of TU (CuxSCF), and the lithiation of CC is performed via subsequent Li electrodeposition (Li@CuxSCF). The Cu2S on CuxSCF can lead to uniform Li deposition by providing lithiophilic sites, and it is converted to form ionic-conductive Li2S-rich solid electrolyte interphase layer. Resultantly, CuxSCF significantly enhances the cycling performance of LMAs compared to CF. Specifically, a LiFePO4/Li@CuxSCF full-cell lithium-metal battery (LMB) with a low n/p ratio (1.6) exhibits capacity retention of 95.6% at 0.5 C (220 cycles) and can maintain 85.0% of initial capacity (425 cycles, n/p = 4) at 2.0 C. LMBs with LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2 and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1 also exhibit improved electrochemical performance.
