Article Abstract
It is well known that the aluminum cathode performs dramatically better when a thin lithium fluoride (LiF) layer inserted in organic electronic devices. The doping effect induced by the librated Li atom via the chemical reactions producing AlF3 as byproduct was previously proposed as one of possible mechanisms. However, the underlying mechanism discussion is quite complicated and not fully understood so far, although the LiF interlayer is widely used. In this paper, we perform theoretical calculations to consider the reactions between an aluminum atom and distinct LiF clusters. The reaction pathways of the Al-(LiF)n (n = 2, 4, 16) systems were discovered and the energetics were theoretically evaluated. The release of Li atom and the formation of AlF3 were found in two different chemical reaction routes. The undissociated Al-(LiF)n systems have chances to change to some structures with loosely bound electrons. Our findings about the interacted Al-(LiF)n systems reveal new insights into the LiF interlayer effects in organic electronics applications.

Garnet-based all-solid-state lithium batteries encountering high interfacial resistance and lithium dendrite growth face challenges to their practical application. Here, we design a carbon dot (CD) decorated ZnOHF composite interlayer (ZnOHF@CDs), which can not only homogenize the distribution and diffusion of Li ions and electrons driven by the built-in electric field from the LiZn/LiF heterojunction, but also alleviate the diffusion of Li ions to the hot spots (with uneven charge accumulation) mediated by CDs with multiple edge groups. Moreover, the pinned CDs facilitate the additional Li-ion diffusion pathways and mitigate the volume change of LiZn alloy interlayers (even after 7400 h cycling), thereby inhibiting Li dendrite growth.

Borophene, a highly anisotropic Dirac material, exhibits remarkable properties such as high electronic mobility, exceptional thermal conductivity, superconductivity, and ferroelasticity. It is ideal for energy storage, electrocatalysis, and wearable electronics applications. However, its synthesis is constrained by complexity, cost, and scalability issues.

Natural graphite (NG) is abundant and has a high capacity for lithium-ion storage, but its narrow interlayer spacing and poor cyclic stability limit its use in high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To address this, a N/S co-doped micro-expanded graphite composite (BFAC@MEG) was prepared by coating micro-expanded graphite (MEG) with N/S-containing amorphous carbon derived from biochemical fulvic acid (BFAC). This enhanced the electrochemical kinetics of lithium ions, improving charge transfer rates and reducing diffusion resistance.

All-solid-state lithium batteries are expected to achieve high energy density but suffer from the issues of lithium dendrite and anodic interfacial reaction. Herein, a lithiophilic-lithiophobic gradient interlayer of lithium-contained alloy/LiF is in situ constructed on a lithium anode by metal trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf) salt modification. The upper lithiophobic layer is rich in LiF to avoid deposition of lithium on the solid-state electrolyte/lithiophobic layer interface, while the lithiophilic alloy layer induces uniform lithium deposition.

Low ionic conductivity, poor mechanical strength, and unstable interface structure are still the main factors hindering the practical application of polymer solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs). In this work, we have developed a unique composite filler (LLZTOCDs) for solid polymer electrolytes to address these challenges through synergistic regulation of multi-interface chemistry. The LLZTOCDs is prepared via thermal treatment of N,S,F-codoped carbon dots (NSFCDs) and LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO) inorganic electrolyte.
