Abstract

• Li/LiPON bilayer thin film on LAGP improves both interfacial kinetics and stability. • Li thin film between LiPON/LAGP and Li foil reduces the interface resistance by 1/4. • The optimum thickness of LiPON is 250 nm for low resistance and stable cycling. • It restrains the Ge reduction and ensures intimate contact between LAGP and Li foil. • Li/LiPON improves a capacity and stability of all-solid-state Li-oxygen batteries. Emerging solid-state lithium batteries demand a stable solid electrolyte against both Li anodes and high-voltage cathodes. The NASICON-type Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) solid electrolyte is highly tolerant to high-voltage operation and air environments, but it suffers from poor interfacial compatibility with Li anodes. Herein, we revisit the Li/LiPON bilayer thin-film in mature and ultrastable thin-film batteries as a bifunctional interlayer that can resolve both chemical and mechanical interfacial problems between Li anodes and LAGP. Interestingly, defect-free contact of the Li thin film onto LiPON/LAGP dramatically reduces the anode interface impedance between LAGP and Li foil, which eliminates the step for Li foil heating. As a result, it delivers a high capacity and rate capability with a long cycle in all-solid-state Li-O 2 batteries. Moreover, by virtue of a systematic thin-film configuration, a model study with different interlayer combinations as well as LiPON thicknesses clearly distinguishes two degradation mechanisms in LAGP-based cells: chemical reduction of Ge at the anode interface and mechanical contact loss by nonuniform Li stripping/plating upon cycling. Thanks to its exceptional electrochemical stability window, this Li/LiPON-modified LAGP will help to achieve the commercialization of safe and long-lasting solid-state lithium batteries.
