ABSTRACTHigh power durable electrodes have been successfully grown on 38.5° rotated Y-X LiTaO3 piezoelectric substrates featuring epitaxial Al films with a pseudo-homoepitaxial Ti intermediate layer. We found that a two-step process sequence in the deposition temperature of an intermediate layer could make it possible for an Al/Ti structure to grow epitaxially on low-cut-angle Y-X LiTaO3. Specified epitaxial relationship was Al(111)<011>//Ti(001)<100>//LiTaO3(001)<100>. Duplexers with epitaxial Al electrodes had a breakdown power above 6 W and more than ten times longer lifetime in contrast to filters with polycrystalline electrodes of which the breakdown power is 3.4 W. Epitaxial electrodes with extremely less grain boundary can improve power durability because self-diffusion of Al atoms occurs mainly in the grain boundary of the film. Material variation of epitaxial electrodes will be discussed as well.

Rechargeable batteries based on lithium (Li) metal chemistry are attractive for next-generation electrochemical energy storage. Nevertheless, excessive dendrite growth, infinite relative dimension change, severe side reactions, and limited power output severely impede their practical applications. Although exciting progress has been made to solve parts of the above issues, a versatile solution is still absent. Here, a Li-ion conductive framework was developed as a stable “host” and efficient surface protection to address the multifaceted problems, which is a significant step forward compared with previous host concepts. This was fulfilled by reacting overstoichiometry of Li with SiO. The as-formed LixSi–Li2O matrix would not only enable constant electrode-level volume, but also protect the embedded Li from direct exposure to electrolyte. Because uniform Li nucleation and deposition can be fulfilled owing to the high-density active Li domains, the as-obtained nanocomposite electrode exhibits low polarization, stable cycling, and high-power output (up to 10 mA/cm2) even in carbonate electrolytes. The Li–S prototype cells further exhibited highly improved capacity retention under high-power operation (∼600 mAh/g at 6.69 mA/cm2). The all-around improvement on electrochemical performance sheds light on the effectiveness of the design principle for developing safe and stable Li metal anodes.
