And Performance

Solid electrolytes provide a route to the development of all-solid-state batteries that can potentially surpass the safety and performance of conventional liquid electrolyte-based devices. Sulfide solid electrolytes have received particular attention as a result of their high ionic conductivities. One of the main reasons for such high ionic conductivity is the apparently reduced grain boundary resistance of sulfide solid electrolytes compared to their oxide counterparts, but this is not fully established. Using two model electrolyte systems, Na3PS4 and Na3PO4, we apply a novel microscale simulation approach to analyze ionic transport in polycrystalline materials with various grain volumes. For Na3PO4, high grain boundary resistance is found, with the Na-ion conductivity decreasing with decreasing grain volume. For Na3PS4, the overall influence of grain boundaries is significantly reduced compared to the oxide. Detailed analysis reveals a minimal change in the local structures and Na-ion conduction mechanism between bulk and polycrystalline Na3PS4, whereas the change is far more substantial for Na3PO4, with evidence of over-coordination of Na ions at the grain boundaries. Our microscale approach helps to explain the fundamentally different influences of grain boundaries on ion transport in phosphate and thiophosphate solid electrolytes.

<div> <div> <div> <p>All-solid-state batteries are considered as attractive options for next-generation energy storage owing to the favourable properties (unit transference number and thermal stabilities) of solid electrolytes. However, there are also serious concerns about mechanical deformation of solid electrolytes leading to the degradation of the battery performance. Therefore, understanding the mechanism underlying the electro-mechanical properties in SSBs are essentially important. Here, we show three-dimensional and time-resolved measurements of an all-solid-state cell using synchrotron radiation x-ray tomographic microscopy. We could clearly observe the gradient of the electrochemical reaction and the morphological evolution in the composite layer. Volume expansion/compression of the active material (Sn) was strongly oriented along the thickness of the electrode. While this results in significant deformation (cracking) in the solid electrolyte region, we also find organized cracking patterns depending on the particle size and their arrangements. This study based on operando visualization therefore opens the door towards rational design of particles and electrode morphology for all-solid-state batteries. </p> </div> </div> </div>
