Abstract
Ultrathin composite electrolytes hold great promise for high energy density solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs). However, finding an electrolyte that can simultaneously balance the interfacial stability of the lithium anode and high-voltage cathode is challenging. The present study utilized the both-side tape casting technique to fabricate ultrathin asymmetric composite electrolytes reinforced with polyimide (PI) fiber membrane, with a thickness of 26.8 μm. The implementation of this asymmetric structural design enables SSLMBs to attain favorable interfacial characteristics, such as exceptional resistance to lithium dendrite puncture and compatibility with high voltages. The suppression of lithium dendrite growth and the extension of the cycle life of lithium symmetric batteries by 4000 h are both experimental and theoretically demonstrated under the dual confinement of PI fiber membrane and Li7La3Zr2O12 ceramic fibers. Furthermore, the integration of multicomponent solid electrolyte interphase and cathode electrolyte interface interfacial layers into the lithium anode and high-voltage cathode enhance theirs cycling stability. With a gravimetric/volumetric energy density of 333.1 Wh kg-1/713.2 Wh L-1, the assembled LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 pouch cell demonstrates exceptional safety. The extensive application of this design concept to SSLMBs enables the resolution of electrode/electrolyte interface issues.
