Benefiting from the advanced solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), conventional cathodes have been widely applied in all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, Li-rich Mn-based (LRM) cathodes, which possess enhanced discharge capacities beyond 250 mA h g, have not yet been studied in ASSLBs. In this work, the practical application of LRM cathodes in ASSLBs using a high-voltage-stability halide SSE (LiInCl, LIC) is reported for the first time. Furthermore, we decipher that the active oxygen released from LRM cathodes at a high operation voltage seriously oxidizes the LIC electrolytes, thus resulting in the large interfacial resistance between cathodes and electrolytes and hindering their industrialized application in ASSLBs. Therefore, surface chemistry engineering of LRM cathodes with an ionic conductive coating material of LiNbO (LNO) is employed to stabilize the LRM/LIC interface. Consequently, the LRM-based ASSLBs deliver a high specific capacity of 221 mA h g at 0.1 C and a decent cycle life of 100 cycles. This contribution gives insights into studying the interfacial issues between LRM cathodes and halide electrolytes and sheds light on the application of LRM cathode materials in ASSLBs.

Layered Li-rich Mn-based (LRM) oxides are promising cathode materials for next-generation high-energy batteries. However, their commercialization is hindered by intrinsic structural issues and subsequent degradation processes. In order to address the degradation mechanisms, we use operando neutron diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy to follow the microstructural degeneration of the LRM oxides in a prepared full cell with a graphite anode.

High-capacity lithium-rich manganese-based materials LiMnNiCoO (LRMs) are potential cathodes for solid-state lithium batteries with high energy density. However, there are challenges of low initial Coulomb efficiency (ICE) and interfacial degradation of the cathode caused by irreversible oxygen release. Here, the oxygen-deficient ceria (CeO) with abundant oxygen vacancies was used to scavenge excess oxygen species and manipulate the irreversible oxygen evolution of the LRM cathode in the solid-state lithium battery.

Layered transition metal oxides (LTMOs) are attractive cathode candidates for rechargeable secondary batteries because of their high theoretical capacity. Unfortunately, LTMOs suffer from severe capacity attenuation, voltage decay, and sluggish kinetics, resulting from irreversible lattice oxygen evolution and unstable cathode-electrolyte interface. Besides, LTMOs accumulate surface residual alkali species, like hydroxides and carbonates, during synthesis, limiting their practical application.

Li-rich Mn-based (LRM) cathode materials, characterized by their high specific capacity (>250 mAh g¹) and cost-effectiveness, represent promising candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, their commercial application is hindered by rapid capacity degradation and voltage fading, which can be attributed to transition metal migration, lattice oxygen release, and the toxicity of Mn ions to the anode solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Recently, the application of LRM cathode in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) has garnered significant interest, as this approach eliminates the liquid electrolyte, thereby suppressing transition metal crosstalk and solid-liquid interfacial side reactions.
