Abstract
Anode free lithium metal batteries(AF-LMBs)have conspicuous advantages both in energy density and the compatibility of battery manufacturing process.However,the limited cycle life of AF-LMBs is a crucial factor hindering its practical application.Fluorinated or nitride artificial inorganic solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)has been found as an effective method to prolong the lifespan of AF-LMBs.Herein,by investigating the impact of nano-sized inorganic gradient layers(LiF or Li3N)on initial Li deposition behavior,we notice that the Li+ diffusion barrier and the deposition morphology are highly depended on the thickness of inorganic layers.Thicker protective layers cause larger overpotential as well as more aggregated Li+ distribution.This study reveals that the ideal SEI should be synthesized thin and uniformly enough and uncontrollable artificial SEI can cause damage to the lifespan of AF-LMBs.
