Nanoscale In 2 O 3 Induced Fast Kinetics and Stable Interface for High‐Loading Solid‐State Cathode

ABSTRACT Sulfide‐based all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with high‐loading cathodes are currently hindered by sluggish Li + /electron kinetics and poor interfacial compatibility. Conventional carbon additives, despite their high conductivity, often trigger detrimental side reactions with sulfide electrolytes. To mitigate these issues, we introduce a multifunctional nanoscale In 2 O 3 conductive agent, integrated via a facile one‐step ball milling process. This nano‐In 2 O 3 effectively mediates interactions between large Li 5.5 PS 4.5 Cl 1.5 (LPSC) and LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NCM811) particles, enhancing mixing homogeneity and collision efficiency. The resulting composite cathode features a low‐tortuosity Li + transport network and establishes rapid “NCM‐nano In 2 O 3 ‐NCM” electronic pathways within particle gaps. Crucially, In 2 O 3 improves interfacial compatibility between the LPSC and conductive additives, suppressing interfacial degradation. Consequently, a high‐loading cathode (18.34 mg cm −2 ) demonstrates a specific capacity of 131 mAh g −1 at 3C and exhibits excellent cyclability, retaining 97.6% capacity after 500 cycles in NCM811||Li cells. This strategy highlights the potential of nanoscale metal oxide additives for achieving high‐energy‐density ASSLBs through optimized interfacial and transport kinetics.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sulfide‐based all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with high‐loading cathodes are currently hindered by sluggish Li + /electron kinetics and poor interfacial compatibility. Conventional carbon additives, despite their high conductivity, often trigger detrimental side reactions with sulfide electrolytes. To mitigate these issues, we introduce a multifunctional nanoscale In 2 O 3 conductive agent, integrated via a facile one‐step ball milling process. This nano‐In 2 O 3 effectively mediates interactions between large Li 5.5 PS 4.5 Cl 1.5 (LPSC) and LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NCM811) particles, enhancing mixing homogeneity and collision efficiency. The resulting composite cathode features a low‐tortuosity Li + transport network and establishes rapid “NCM‐nano In 2 O 3 ‐NCM” electronic pathways within particle gaps. Crucially, In 2 O 3 improves interfacial compatibility between the LPSC and conductive additives, suppressing interfacial degradation. Consequently, a high‐loading cathode (18.34 mg cm −2 ) demonstrates a specific capacity of 131 mAh g −1 at 3C and exhibits excellent cyclability, retaining 97.6% capacity after 500 cycles in NCM811||Li cells. This strategy highlights the potential of nanoscale metal oxide additives for achieving high‐energy‐density ASSLBs through optimized interfacial and transport kinetics.
