Abstract

To improve the solid-electrolyte/electrode interface compatibility, we have proposed the concept of hybrid electrolyte by including a small amount of liquid electrolyte in between. In this work, n-BuLi, a superbase, has been found to significantly improve the cycling performance of LiFePO4/Li hybrid cells containing Li7La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 (LLZT) and conventional carbonate-based liquid electrolyte. The modified cells have been cycled for 400 cycles at 100 and 200 μA cm-2 at room temperature, indicating excellent solid/liquid electrolyte interface stability. The role of n-BuLi may be 3-fold: to retard the decomposition reaction of LE, to suppress the Li+/H+ exchange, and to lithiate the garnet/LE interface, inhibiting side reactions and enhancing interfacial lithium-ion transport.
