Abstract
All-solid-state batteries with a lithium metal anode, enabled by lithium garnet solid electrolytes such as Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), are a promising next-generation energy-storage technology. The further development of all-solid-state battery requires the integration of high-energy cathodes such as LiNi1-x-yMnxCoyO2 (NMC) with the garnet solid electrolyte with stable and low-resistance interfaces, which requires a coating layer to stabilize the interface during high-temperature sintering and electrochemical cycling. In order to guide the future development of interfacial coatings, we perform high-throughput thermodynamic analyses based on first-principles computation to investigate the stability of LLZO garnet and high-energy NMC cathodes with a wide range of materials chemistries. Our study reveals the factors governing the materials stability with LLZO garnet and NMC cathodes, and identifies the mechanisms of good coating layers stable with LLZO and NMC. In addition to classifying known coating layers, our study provides detailed guiding charts and multiple new materials systems as promising coatings for stabilizing LLZONMC interfaces to enable high-energy-density garnet-based all-solid-state batteries. Our demonstrated computation scheme and high-throughput analyses are generally applicable to investigate and screen coating materials for stabilizing interfaces in energy-related applications.
