Abstract:
Lithium (Li) metal has attracted great attention as a promising high-capacity anode material for next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. Nonuniform Li+ transport and uneven Li plating/stripping behavior are two key factors that deteriorate the electrochemical performance. In this work, we propose an interphase acid–base interaction effect that could regulate Li plating/stripping behavior and stabilize the Li metal anode. ZSM-5, a class of zeolites with ordered nanochannels and abundant acid sites, was employed as a functional interface layer to facilitate Li+ transport and mitigate the cell concentration polarization. As a demonstration, a pouch cell with a high-areal-capacity LiNi0.95Co0.02Mn0.03O2 cathode (3.7 mAh cm–2) and a ZSM-5 modified thin lithium anode (50 μm) delivered impressive electrochemical performance, showing 92% capacity retention in 100 cycles (375.7 mAh). This work reveals the effect of acid–base interaction on regulating lithium plating/stripping behaviors, which could be extended to developing other high-performance alkali metal anodes.
