Background
Since the lithium (Li) anode has a high theoretical specific capacity (3860mAh g)-1) And the lowest electrode potential (-3.04V, relative to the standard hydrogen electrode), therefore, the lithium metal battery is considered to be one of the next generation new energy storage devices with great development and application prospects. However, when the Li anode contacts a liquid organic electrolyte, it spontaneously reacts with organic and inorganic components to form a Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) layer on the surface thereof. Such naturally formed SEI layers have fast Li+The local tips of conduction, resulting in uneven Li deposition, form Li dendrites that can crack the brittle SEI layer produced during cycling. Therefore, fresh Li anode surfaces will be exposed to the electrolyte again and cause more side reactions. More importantly, at high current densities, Li+The transport kinetics in the SEI layer are severely limited, leading to more pronounced Li dendrite problems.
Lithium fluoride (LiF) is the main component in the SEI layer, has low electronic conductivity and high chemical stability, and is a good passivation layer of the Li anode surface. However, the ionic conductivity of the LiF component is poor: (<10-9S cm-1) Much lower than other inorganic components in the SEI layer (e.g. Li)2O、Li2CO3) The ionic conductivity of (a). High Li of LiF+Diffusion energy barrier leading to Li+Is limited (especially at high current densities) and results in unstable Li plating/stripping performance. Thus, constructing a more stable LiF-rich SEI layer for Li enhancement+Diffusion kinetics in the SEI layer are crucial to achieve stable Li plating/stripping.
