Dual‐Functional Li <sub>2</sub> B <sub>4</sub> O <sub>7</sub> Coating on Carbon Fibers for Enhanced Li <sup>+</sup> Transport and Stability in Sulfide All‐Solid‐State Batteries

Abstract Interfacial degradation between carbon additives and sulfide‐based solid electrolytes is a critical bottleneck hindering the development of all‐solid‐state batteries (ASSBs). Here, a dual‐functional lithium tetraborate (Li 2 B 4 O 7 ) coating is introduced on carbon fibers to resolve this challenge. The conformal Li 2 B 4 O 7 layer acts as a physical barrier to suppress parasitic reactions while its unique dielectric properties simultaneously facilitate Li + transport at the interface. Comprehensive spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses confirm that this Li 2 B 4 O 7 ‐based interfacial engineering strategy effectively mitigates electrolyte decomposition and enhances Li + kinetics. Consequently, the Li 2 B 4 O 7 ‐coated conductive additive enables outstanding electrochemical performance. In pellet‐type cells, the cathode retains 94.7% of its initial capacity after 400 cycles at 0.5 C. Furthermore, its practical viability is demonstrated in high‐loading (6 mAh cm −2 ), dry‐processed electrode cells, which deliver an impressive capacity of 139.4 mAh g −1 at a demanding 2 C rate. This work presents a scalable and highly effective approach to stabilizing the challenging carbon‐sulfide interface, paving the way for durable, high‐energy‐density ASSBs.
