All-solid-state lithium batteries employing inorganic solid electrolytes have been regarded as an ultimate solution to safety issues because of their features of no leakage as well as incombustibility and they are expected to achieve higher energy densities owing to their simplified structure. Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides exhibit a great potential in energy storage devices because of their unique physical and chemical characteristics. In this work, 50 nm thick highly crystalline layered VS (hc-VS) nanosheets are prepared by a solvothermal method, and their electrochemical performances are evaluated in Li/75% LiS-24% PS-1% PO/LiGePS/hc-VS all-solid-state lithium batteries. At 50 mA g, hc-VS nanosheets show a high reversible capacity of 532.2 mAh g after 30 cycles. Moreover, stable discharge capacities are maintained at 436.8 and 270.4 mAh g at 100 and 500 mA g after 100 cycles, respectively. The superior rate capability and cycling stability are ascribed to the better electronic conductivity and well-developed layered structure. In addition, the electrochemical reaction kinetics and capacity contributions were analyzed via cyclic voltammetry measurements at different scan rates.

All-solid-state Li-metal battery (ASSLB) chemistry with thin solid-state electrolyte (SSE) membranes features high energy density and intrinsic safety but suffers from severe dendrite formation and poor interface contact during cycling, which hampers the practical application of rechargeable ASSLB. Here, we propose a universal design of thin Li-metal anode (LMA) via a dynamic stability strategy to address these issues. The ultra-thin LMA (20 μm) is in-situ constructed with uniform highly Li-ion conductive solid-electrolyte interphase and composite-polymer interphase (CPI) via electroplating process.

The demand for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) featuring credible LiPSCl argyrodite (LPSCl) electrolytes is increasing, driving interest in exploring suitable current collectors for ASSBs. Copper (Cu), used as a current collector in traditional lithium-ion batteries, exhibits significant instability in LPSCl-ASSBs. In this study, the effectiveness of iron (Fe) is systematically investigated as an alternative current collector in LPSCl-ASSBs and compare its performance to that of Cu.

Solid-state lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries show promise for future electric mobility due to their high energy density potential. However, high internal impedance, Li polysulfide shuttling, and dendrite formation exist. Herein, we present a Li-rich cellulosic solid-state electrolyte (SSE) that, when paired with a sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) cathode, leads to durable Li-S batteries for use in the room temperature to 50 °C range.

The use of lithium-rich manganese-based oxides (LRMOs) as the cathode in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) holds great potential for realizing high energy density over 600 Wh kg. However, their implementation is significantly hindered by the sluggish kinetics and inferior reversibility of anionic redox reactions of oxygen in ASSBs. In this contribution, boron ions (B) doping and 3D LiBO (LBO) ionic networks construction are synchronously introduced into LRMO materials (LBO-LRMO) by mechanochemical and subsequent thermally driven diffusion method.

Nickel-rich layered oxide with high reversible capacity and high working potentials is a prevailing cathode for high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, compared to the liquid battery system, ASSLBs suffer from poor Li-ion migration kinetics, severe side reactions, and undesired formation of space charge layers, which result in restricted capacity release and limited rate capability. In this work, we reveal that the capacity loss lies in the H2-H3 phase transition period, and we propose that the inconsistent interfacial Li-ion migration is the arch-criminal.
