A Review on Anode Side Interface Stability Micromechanisms and Engineering for Garnet Electrolyte-based Solid-state Batteries

Li-ion solid electrolytes, which are compatible with metallic lithium anodes, are the key component of all solid-state batteries. Recently, the garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 solid electrolyte has experienced booming development and shown great potential for its excellent overall performance. However, further understanding of its stability with lithium is required for a longer battery lifetime. In this review, latest research work on the interface between garnet-type solid electrolytes and lithium is presented, including both mechanisms governing interface stability and interface engineering methods. The development prospects and potential directions for following research are also discussed in the last section.
