Abstract

Abstract

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are a promising next step in electrochemical energy storage but are plagued by a number of problems. In this study, we demonstrate the recurring issue of mechanical degradation because of volume changes in layered Ni-rich oxide cathode materials in thiophosphate-based SSBs. Specifically, we explore superionic solid electrolytes (SEs) of different crystallinity, namely glassy 1.5Li₂S-0.5P₂S₅-LiI and argyrodite Li₆PS₅Cl, with emphasis on how they affect the cyclability of slurry-cast cathodes with NCM622 (60% Ni) or NCM851005 (85% Ni). The application of a combination of ex situ and in situ analytical techniques helped to reveal the benefits of using a SE with a low Young’s modulus. Through a synergistic interplay of (electro)chemical and (chemo)mechanical effects, the glassy SE employed in this work was able to achieve robust and stable interfaces, enabling intimate contact with the cathode material while at the same time mitigating volume changes. Our results emphasize the importance of considering chemical, electrochemical, and mechanical properties to realize long-term cycling performance in high-loading SSBs.
