Anisotropically Electrochemical–Mechanical Evolution in Solid‐State Batteries and Interfacial Tailored Strategy

All-solid-state batteries have attracted attention owing to the potential high energy density and safety; however, little success has been made on practical applications of solid-state batteries, which is largely attributed to the solid-solid interface issues. A fundamental elucidation of electrode-electrolyte interface behaviors is of crucial significance but has proven difficult. The interfacial resistance and capacity fading issues in a solid-state battery were probed, revealing a heterogeneous phase transition evolution at solid-solid interfaces. The strain-induced interfacial change and the contact loss, as well as a dense metallic surface phase, deteriorate the electrochemical reaction in solid-state batteries. Furthermore, the in situ growth of electrolytes on secondary particles is proposed to fabricate robust solid-solid interface. Our study enlightens new insights into the mechanism behind solid-solid interfacial reaction for optimizing advanced solid-state batteries.
