Abstract
All-solid-state lithium ion batteries have the potential to become an important class of next-generation electrochemical energy storage devices. For achieving competitive performance, a better understanding of the interfacial processes at the electrodes is necessary before optimized electrode compositions can be developed. In this work, the interfacial processes between the solid electrolyte and the electrode materials are monitored using impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic cycling, showing a large resistance contribution and kinetic hindrance at the metal anode. The effect of different fractions of the solid electrolyte in the composite cathodes on the rate performance is tested. The results demonstrate the necessity of a carefully designed composite microstructure, depending on the desired applications of an all-solid-state battery. While a relatively low mass fraction of solid electrolyte is sufficient for high-energy density, a higher fraction of solid electrolyte is required for high-power density.
