Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) are a promising technology for next-generation energy storage, showing potentials of high safety, high energy density, long cycle life, and fast-charging capability. Research over recent decades has led to substantial progress in the development of solid-state electrolytes (e.g., sulfides, oxides, halides, solid polymers, etc.) and encouraging results of pairing high-voltage/high-capacity cathodes with lithium metal anodes. Further improving the SSLBs performance and eventually transferring the technology to the commercial market, however, require deeper understanding of the fundamental science, new materials discovery, and innovative engineering solutions. Therefore, interdisciplinary research and collaborative work across academia and industry are indispensable to fulfill the promise of SSLBs technology.

This Special Issue aims to cover the latest progress of solid-state lithium batteries. Original research articles, reviews, and perspectives with relevant topics are highly welcome.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Solid-state electrolytes;
  • Electrode materials for all-solid-state batteries;
  • Interfacial designs and engineering;
  • Mechanistic study of ion conduction in solids;
  • Advanced in situ / ex situ characterization tools;
  • Safety and failure mode analyses;
  • Theoretical calculations and simulation for solid-state battery materials.

Lithium-titanium-sulfur cathodes have garnered interest due to their distinctive properties and potential applications in lithium-ion batteries. They present various benefits, including lower cost, enhanced safety, and greater energy density compared to the commonly used transition metal oxides. The current trend in lithium-ion batteries is to move to all-solid-state chemistries in order to improve safety and energy density. Several chemistries for solid electrolytes have been studied, tested, and characterized to evaluate the applicability in energy storage system. Among those, sulfur-based Argyrodites have been coupled with cubic rock-salt type Li2TiS3 electrodes. In this work, Li2TiS3 surfaces were investigated with DFT methods in different conditions, covering the possible configurations that can occur during the cathode usage: pristine, delithiated, and overlithiated. Interfaces were built by coupling selected Li2TiS3 surfaces with the most stable Argyrodite surface, as derived from a previous study, allowing us to understand the (electro)chemical compatibility between these two sulfur-based materials.
