Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
Understanding the nature of ion transfer at the interface between Li metal and solid electrolytes (SE) is essential for further optimization of all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. Thus, the Li transfer across the SE|Li metal interface is investigated by means of ab initio calculations based on density functional theory in this work. The aluminum-doped garnet Li6.25Al0.25La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is considered as a model SE due to its practical stability against Li metal. A low-energy interface model in bicrystal geometry is constructed and investigated by nudged elastic band calculations as well as ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. In order to distinguish between interface and bulk transport in the AIMD simulations, a post-processing protocol is developed. We find that the activation energies and diffusivities of Li are comparable in bulk LLZO and across the interface, substantiating that the interface kinetics are not rate-limiting. Moreover, electronic structure analysis indicates that charge transfer occurs gradually. Finally, Al3+ loss of LLZO at the interface rationalizes the experimentally observed phase transition from cubic to tetragonal observed close to Li metal contacts.
