Abstract
Interfacial issues between solid-state electrolytes and electrodes are considered as one of key problems hindering the performance improvement of solid-state lithium batteries. In-situ polymerization is one of the most promising methods for improving interfacial performance, where liquid-state electrolytes are in-situ converted into solidstate electrolytes within the battery. It could effectively reduce interfacial resistance, meanwhile, it could enable compatibility of commercial production devices of Li-ion batteries. Here, a new kind of liquid-state electrolyte used for in-situ polymerization is designed based on previously reported high-temperature-resistant electrolyte. Small amounts of LiPF6 play dual roles in prevention of aluminum (Al) current collector corrosion and acceleration of in-situ polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) solvent inside the cell at room temperature. Interfacial stability between in-situ polymerized electrolyte and LiCoO2 cathode is improved by the formation of interfacial layer with good stability during the electrochemical process, due to synergistic effects of added fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) with the assistance of proton. Reaction mechanism between FEC and HDI is analyzed by DFT calculations. It shows good electrochemical performance in 4.2 V Li/LiCoO2 cell at room temperature. It provides the possibility of designing high-voltage solid-state lithium metal battery by in-situ polymerization and electrochemically interfacial engineering methods.
