Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)based on sulfide electrolytes promise next-generation energy storage with high energy density and safety.However,the sulfide electrolytes suffer from phase instabil-ity and sluggish interfacial charge transport when pairing with layered oxide cathodes at high voltages.Herein,a simple and efficient strategy is proposed using two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene as starting ma-terial to in-situ construct a 15 nm Li2TiO3 layer on a typical oxide cathode,LiCoO2.The in-situ transforma-tion of Ti3C2Tx into Li2TiO3 layer occurs at a low temperature of 500 ℃,avoiding the phase deterioration of LiCoO2.The thin Li2TiO3 layer is Li+conducting and electrochemically stable,thereby preventing the interfacial decomposition of sulfide electrolytes induced by LiCoO2 at high voltages and facilitating Li+transport at the interface.Moreover,Li2TiO3 can stabilize the layer structure of LiCoO2 at high voltages.Consequently,the sulfide-based ASSLB using LiCoO2@Li2TiO3 cathode can operate stably at a high voltage of up to 4.5 V(vs.Li+/Li),delivering an outstanding initial specific discharge capacity of 138.8 mAh/g with a high capacity retention of 86.2％after 100 cycles at 0.2 C.The in-situ transformation strategy may also apply to other MXenes,offering a general approach for constructing other advanced lithiated coatings for oxide cathodes.
