摘要

The main motivation for replacing lithium-ion batteries with lithium metal batteries is to achieve a higher energy density by using the metallic lithium anode. One of the major challenges with rechargeable lithium metal batteries is the formation of lithium dendrites and dead lithium during repeated cycling. Another challenge is the formation of the unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the surface of the lithium metal electrode, which can reduce battery efficiency and cycle life. In the present work, two different lithium silicates (Li2Si2O5 and Li2SiO3) are successfully synthesized and implemented as an artificial SEI layer via a simple dry coating method. The lithium silicate coating acts as a protective barrier that prevents direct contact between the lithium metal and the electrolyte, which can cause undesirable side reactions and reduce the efficiency and lifetime of the battery. The lithium silicate artificial SEI layer improves the stability of lithium metal batteries by reducing unwanted surface reactions, optimizing ion transport kinetics, and protecting the lithium metal anode from mechanical deformation and unstable SEI formation during extended cycling. This laminated lithium anode structure can be an effective design for the future development of rechargeable lithium metal batteries.
