Advancing Atomistic Design for Optimal LI-Metal/Solid Electrolyte Interfaces in All-Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries

Javier Carrasco (CIC energiGUNE) — Advancing Atomistic Design for Optimal LI-Metal/Solid Electrolyte Interfaces in All-Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries

💡A new RES Success Story aimed to revolutionize battery technology 

📋 "Advancing Atomistic Design for Optimal LI-Metal/Solid Electrolyte Interfaces in All-Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries" led by Javier Carrasco from CIC energiGUNE

The research tackles one of the biggest challenges in solid-state batteries: understanding and controlling the crucial interface where the electrolyte meets the electrode. They studied Li₆PS₅Cl, a promising solid electrolyte, to explore how to make these batteries more reliable and efficient. 

🖥️ Thanks to RES supercomputer hashtag#Altamira from Universidad de Cantabria, they watched atomic-scale processes that were previously impossible to observe and tested various protective coatings. They discovered that Li₂Sn₅ offers the best balance between performance and stability and deeper understanding about: 
🔹How electrolytes degrade 
🔹P−S bond breaking mechanisms 
🔹Identification of optimal protective coatings 
🔹New methods for studying ion transport 

These insights are crucial for applications like better batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, contributing to a more sustainable future.
