Abstract

The positive electrode|electrolyte interface plays an important role in all-solid-state Li batteries (ASSLBs) based on garnet-type solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) like Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO). However, the trade-off between solid-solid contact and chemical stability leads to a poor positive electrode|electrolyte interface and cycle performance. In this study, we achieve thermodynamic compatibility and adequate physical contact between high-entropy cationic disordered rock salt positive electrodes (HE-DRXs) and LLZTO through ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS). This approach constructs a highly stable positive electrode|electrolyte interface, reducing the interface resistance to 31.6 Ω·cm2 at 25 °C, making a 700 times reduction compared to the LiCoO2 | LLZTO interface. Moreover, the conformal and tight HE-DRX | LLZTO solid-state interface avoids the transition metal migration issue observed with HE-DRX in liquid electrolytes. At 150 °C, HE-DRXs in ASSLBs (Li|LLZTO | HE-DRXs) exhibit an average specific capacity of 239.7 ± 2 mAh/g at 25 mA/g, with a capacity retention of 95% after 100 cycles relative to the initial cycle—a stark contrast to the 76% retention after 20 cycles at 25 °C in conventional liquid batteries. Our strategy, which considers the principles of thermodynamics and kinetics, may open avenues for tackling the positive electrode|electrolyte interface issue in ASSLBs based on garnet-type SSEs.
