All-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) have received great interest due to their high potential to display both high energy density and safety performance. However, the poor compatibility at the Li/solid electrolyte (SE) interface and penetration of lithium dendrites during cycling strongly impede their successful commercialization. Herein, a thin Ag layer was introduced between Li and LiGePS for the formation of a Li-Ag alloy interface, thus tuning the interfacial chemistry and lithium deposition/dissolution behavior. Superior electrochemical properties and improved interfacial stability were achieved by optimizing the Ag thicknesses. The assembled symmetric cell with Li@Ag 1 μm showed a steady voltage evolution up to 1000 h with an areal capacity of 1 mAh cm. Moreover, a high reversible capacity of 106.5 mAh g was achieved in an all-solid-state cell after 100 cycles, demonstrating the validity of the Ag layer. This work highlights the importance of the Li/SE interface re-engineering and provides a new strategy for improving the cycle life of ASSLMBs.

Contact prelithiation is widely used to compensate for the initial capacity loss of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the low utilization of the Li source, which suffers from the deteriorated contact interfaces, results in cycling degeneration. Herein, Li-Ag alloy-based artificial electron channels (AECs) are established in Li source/graphite anode contact interfaces to promote Li-source conversion.

A carbon-silver anode has recently been shown to suppress dendrite formation in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. The role that silver plays in enabling the reversible deposition and stripping of lithium remains unknown. Furthermore, very little is known about the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of Li Ag alloys.

Solid-state batteries with Li metal anodes can offer increased energy density compared to Li-ion batteries. However, the performance of pure Li anodes has been limited by morphological instabilities at the interface between Li and the solid-state electrolyte (SSE). Composites of Li metal with other materials such as carbon and Li alloys have exhibited improved cycling stability, but the mechanisms associated with this enhanced performance are not clear, especially at the low stack pressures needed for practical viability.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with sulfide-based solid electrolytes have attracted significant attention as promising energy storage devices, owing to their high energy density and enhanced safety. However, the combination of a lithium metal anode and a sulfide solid electrolyte results in performance degradation, owing to lithium dendrite growth and the side reactions of lithium metal with the solid electrolyte. To address these issues, a Ag-based Li alloy with a favorable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) was prepared using electrodeposition and applied to the ASSLB as an anode.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are attracting tremendous attention due to their improved safety and higher energy density. However, the use of a metallic lithium anode poses a major challenge due to its low stability and processability. Instead, the graphite anode exhibits high reversibility for the insertion/deinsertion of lithium ions, giving ASSLBs excellent cyclic stability but a lower energy density.
