摘      要：Solid-state batteries(SSBs)will potentially offer increased energy density and,more importantly,improved safety for next generation lithium-ion(Li-ion)*** enabling technology is solid-state composite cathodes with high operating voltage and area *** composite cathode manufacturing technologies,however,suffer from large interfacial resistance and low active mass loading that with excessive amounts of polymer electrolytes and conductive ***,we report a liquidphase sintering technology that offers mixed ionic-electronic interphases and free-standing electrode architecture design,which eventually contribute to high area capacity.A small amount(~4 wt.%)of lithium hydroxide(LiOH)and boric acid(H_(3)BO_(3))with low melting point are utilized as sintering additives that infiltrate into single-crystal Ni-rich LiNi_(0.8)Mn_(0.1)Co_(0.1)(NMC811)particles at a moderately elevated temperature(~350℃)in a liquid state,which not only enable intimate physical contact but also promote the densification *** addition,the liquid-phase additives react and transform to ionic-conductive lithium boron oxide,together with the indium tin oxide(ITO)nanoparticle coating,mixed ionic-electronic interphases of composite cathode are successfully ***,the liquid-phase sintering performed at high-temperature(~800℃)also enables the fabrication of highly dense and thick composite cathodes with a novel free-standing *** promising performance characteristics of such composite cathodes,for example,delivering an area capacity above 8 mAh·cm^(−2) within a wide voltage window up to 4.4 V,open new opportunities for SSBs with a high energy density of 500 Wh·kg^(−1) for safer portable electronic and electrical transport.
