Highly purified LiOH is a common raw material of cathode active materials of lithium-ion batteries. Its demand is rapidly increasing with the fast development of the electric vehicles. The traditional enrichment process of LiOH relying on water evaporation requires a lot of energy. Here, we demonstrate the ability of NASICON-type Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 membrane electrodialysis to enrich the LiOH aqueous solution with a low concentration. This Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 membrane electrodialysis could extract 99.7% and 96.5% of Li + in 0.1, and 0.01 M LiOH feed solution, respectively, into 1 M LiOH receiving solution. And the transmembrane resistance between feed solution and receiving solution increased by 37.4, 389.5, and 964.6 Ω cm 2 , compared to the value for 1 M of LiOH feed solution as the feed solution concentration decreased to 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 M, respectively. This quantitative assessment method for the resistance variation is crucial to the potential separation application of Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 membrane electrodialysis in salt-lake brine.

Polymer electrolytes with single ion conducting behavior, high ion conductivity and fire-resistant play a vital role in suppressing lithium dendrite growth for high security, stability and high energy density of rechargeable lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, we develop a gel single-ion composite electrolyte (SICE) by incorporating Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 nanoparticles into alternating diblock lithiated bis(benzene sulfonyl)imide polyanion with repeating ether groups. Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 nanoparticles can significantly endow SICE membrane more Li + transportation channels, which offers elevated ionic conductivity (8.3 × 10 −4 S cm −1 ) and Li + transference number (0.93) to promote homogenously Li + deposition in lithium foil for dendrite suppression. As a result, a highly reversible Li plating/stripping in a Li symmetric cell enables to run stably for at least 1600 h at 0.5 mA cm −2 . Furthermore, Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 nanoparticles increases the electrochemical window of SICE up to 4.6 V (vs. Li + /Li), meanwhile enhances the thermal stability and fire-resistance, and promotes fast electrolyte wetting. Accordingly, a single-ion conducting LiFePO 4 /Li cell assembled with optimized SICE membrane endowed a high capacity retention of 92.9% after 800 cycles at 1 C, superior to the commercial LiPF 6 /PP system. This work paves a scalable and deployable way for design of advanced single-ion conducting electrolyte membranes to develop secure and stable LMBs.

SnO 2 layer between Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) and lithium anode was prepared through simple scratch-coating process to improve interface properties. The physical phase, morphology, and electrochemical properties of Li/SnO 2 /LAGP structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical analytical methods. It was found that SnO 2 layer effectively improved the interface stability of LAGP and lithium anode. The prepared Li/SnO 2 /LAGP/SnO 2 /Li symmetric cell exhibited a large critical current density of 1.8 mA cm −2 and demonstrated excellent cycling characteristics. The polarization voltages of symmetric cell were 0.1 V and 0.8 V after 1000 h of cycling at current densities of 0.04 mA cm −2 and 0.5 mA cm −2 , respectively. Li/SnO 2 @LAGP/LiFePO 4 solid-state full cells were also assembled, exhibiting a discharge specific capacity of 150 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 0.1C with capacity retention rate of 96 %. The good interface properties of Li/SnO 2 /LAGP structure are attributed to the transformation of SnO 2 layer into a buffer layer containing Li 2 O, Sn 0 , and Li x Sn y alloy during cycling process, which effectively inhibits the reduction reaction between LAGP and lithium anode.

We report effectiveness of dopants selected from group 13, such as B, Ga, and In, on the conductivity of Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) that is recognized as one of the promising solid electrolytes for next-generation solid-state lithium batteries. To minimize loss of versatile element, crystallization of LAGP using a microwave irradiation is introduced. Experimental results demonstrate that B enhances grain boundary conductivity, while Ga improves the bulk ionic conductivity. Co-doping of B and Ga leads to enhanced total ionic conductivity and remarkably reduced activation energy.

In all-solid-state batteries , the rigid point contact between the solid electrolyte and electrode results in poor cell interface wettability and generates large interfacial impedance, which hinders the application of solid-state batteries. To enhance ionic conductivity and interfacial wettability of NASICON-structured solid-state electrolyte Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP), microporous LAGP with a hexagonal surface pattern is prepared using femtosecond laser followed by filling an ionic liquid electrolyte to form a solid-liquid composite electrolyte (HPL&IL). The effect of surface textures on the electrolyte-electrode interface is investigated. Experimental results demonstrate that cycling stability for Li|HPL&IL|Li cells can reach up to 350 h at a constant current density of 0.05 mA cm −2 at room temperature, and hexagonal surface textures promote uniform interfacial film formation while increasing contact area between electrode and electrolyte, providing more space for charge transfer at the interface.

Lithium aluminum germanium phosphate solid electrolyte is a promising candidate for all-solid-state batteries. The currently available processing techniques based on melting-quenching require a rather lengthy crystallization step lasting up to 8 hours. In this work, the newly emerged ultra-fast high-temperature sintering (UHS) was proposed to achieve in a single step reactive consolidation of powder mixture (GeO 2 , Al(PO 3 ) 3 , LiPO 3 ) and crystallization of the electrolyte within 16 minutes. Samples produced using UHS had a better phase purity, reduced Li loss, and improved ionic conductivity when compared to the counterparts prepared using conventional crystallization at 850°C for 6 h. In fact, specimens prepared by UHS achieved a crystallinity of 90% and ionic conductivity as high as 1.31 × 10 −4 S cm −1 .

The application of Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) is hindered by chemical instability with lithium (Li) metal and poor interfacial compatibility with high-voltage cathodes. Herein, an in-situ Janus LAGP is fabricated to solve the above two issues simultaneously. On the cathodic side, a succinonitrile-based interlayer with good oxidation stability is applied to facilitate ion transport at the interface and inside the cathode. On the anodic side, Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC)-based polymer interlayer is chosen to ameliorate side reactions on LAGP/Li interface and inhibit the dendrite growth. Consequently, the Li symmetric cell with the Janus LAGP possesses a high critical current density of 5.4 mA cm −2 and operates stably for over 500 h at a high current density of 1.0 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the Janus LAGP exhibits excellent ionic conductivity (4.76 × 10 −4 S cm −1 ), wide electrochemical window (0–5.2 V vs. Li + /Li) and stable interfacial compatibility with high-voltage cathodes. The solid-state lithium battery (LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 /Li) delivers a maximum discharge capacity of 178 mAh g −1 with a retention of 85.7% after 100 cycles at 0.5C. Notably, when the mass loading is increased to 10.0 mg cm −2 , the battery delivers a maximum discharge capacity of 134.1 mAh g −1 (1.52 mAh) at 0.5C, and the capacity remains 76.1% after 100 cycles.

NASION-type Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) is prepared by a novel sol-gel method using low cost inorganic germanium (GeO 2 ) as the precursor. The composition and phase transformation during the heating of the LAGP precursors are analyzed using thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The structures and morphologies of the LAGP are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the LAGP annealed at 900 ℃ is partially crystallized and consists of a large number of nanoscale grains surrounded by amorphous regions. The LAGP particles present an irregular morphology with a large size distribution over a range of 0.2–1 μm. In addition, ionic conductivities of the prepared LAGP first increase and then decrease with an increase in the sintering temperature and time. A high ionic conductivity (4.18 × 10 −4 Scm -1 ) with an activation energy of 0.30 eV are obtained for the LAGP sample sintered at 900 °C for 8 h.

NASICON-structured solid-state electrolyte, namely Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) possesses high ionic conductivity and good compatibility with lithium metal that make it an ideal electrolyte for next-generation lithium battery. However, high interfacial impedance and possible dendrite limit its practical applications. To reduce interfacial impedance, herein, surface texturing on the LAGP is conducted using a femtosecond laser, and further wetted by ionic liquids. The femtosecond laser-modified surface can effectively increase wettability and improve the interfacial contacts. Low area specific impedance of 81.4Ω cm -2 is obtained and the full battery demonstrates good electrochemical performances.

An asymmetric solid polymer electrolyte (ASPE) is designed as two-in-one layered structure driven by gravity and in-situ polymerization. The rigid layer composed of polymer embedded three-dimensional continuous Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) framework improves the Li + transference number and critical current densities. The soft poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) layer prepared via thermal polymerization by poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEM) makes good interfacial contact with cathodes. Driven by gravity, the two layers are automatically stratified during the polymerization. By virtue of this structural merit, the Li + transference number of PEG@LAGP ASPE extends to 0.144 (vs. 0.083 of PEG SPE), and symmetric Li/PEG@LAGP ASPE/Li cells can stably cycle over 400 h at current density of 0.5 mA cm −2 under 60 °C. LiFePO 4 /PEG@LAGP ASPE/Li cell exhibits excellent electrochemical performance at 2.5 C (0.5 mA cm −2 ) under 60 °C, reaching to a maximum specific capacity of 130.8 mA h g −1 and a capacity retention of 87.2% after 1000 cycles. Furthermore, the cells operating at high rates or high temperatures also have been demonstrated. This work provides a promising electrolyte design strategy for all-solid-state batteries with superior interface compatibility and long cycle life.

Lithium (Li) metal plays an indispensable role in Li-S batteries , but its fast degradation seriously impedes the practical application of Li-S batteries. Here, an ion-conductive LAGP-based composite protective layer (CPL) consisting of lithium aluminum germanium phosphate (Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 ) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is prepared on Li metal anode via a facile casting method. In the presence of LAGP, the negative effect of CPL on the diffusion of Li + is minimized. Hence, it can not only effectively resist corrosive action of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) on Li metal anode, but also reduce interfacial polarization and restrain dendritic Li growth. The protected Li anode exhibits exceptional cycling stability and low voltage polarization (∼30 mV at 0.5 mA cm −2 ) for 300 h. The electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries with protected Li anode is also greatly enhanced. The discharge specific capacity of 832.1 mAh g −1 and an average coulombic efficiency of 92% are obtained for up to 100 cycles at 0.5 C in LiNO 3 -free electrolyte. Additionally, the rate capability of Li-S batteries is significantly improved, delivering a reversible capacity of 565 mAh g −1 at 4 C. Our results also indicate this protection strategy can be extended to the Li-S pouch cells.

A solid electrolyte of LAGP [Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 ] contained 0.5 wt% LiF was prepared by using low-volatile raw materials. The effects of different heat treatment conditions (750–900 °C, 4–10 h) and additive (LiF) on the ionic conductivity, structural morphology, and crystal transformation process were investigated in detail. EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopies) showed that the ionic conductivity of LAGP contained 0.5 wt% LiF had a highest value of 3.17 × 10 −4 S cm −1 with low activation energy (0.31 eV) after treating 825 °C for 6 h, more than LAGP of 2.45 × 10 −4 S cm −1 . DSC analysis and SEM images indicated that adding a small amount of LiF to LAGP not only can lower the glass transition temperature (from 513 °C to 507 °C) and crystallization temperature (from 622 °C to 605 °C), but also can modify the grain boundary and increase the relative density of LAGP (from 95.8% to 97.7%).
