Abstract

Void formation at the Li/ceramic electrolyte interface of an all-solid-state battery on discharge results in high local current densities, dendrites on charge, and cell failure. Here, we show that such voiding is reduced at the Li/Li6PS5Cl interface at elevated temperatures, sufficient to increase the critical current before voiding and cell failure from <0.25 mA cm-2 at 25 °C to 0.25 mA cm-2 at 60 °C and 0.5 mA cm-2 at 80 °C under a relatively low stack-pressure of 1 MPa. Increasing the stack-pressure to 5 MPa and temperature to 80 °C permits stable cycling at 2.5 mA cm-2. It is also shown that the charge-transfer resistance at the Li/Li6PS5Cl interface depends on pressure and temperature, with relatively high pressures required to maintain low charge-transfer resistance at -20 °C. These results are consistent with the plastic deformation of Li metal dominating the performance of the Li anode, posing challenges for the implementation of solid-state cells with Li anodes.
