Article Abstract
Unstable cathode/electrolyte interphase and severe interfacial side reaction have long been identified as the main cause for the failure of layered oxide cathode during fast charging and long-term cycling for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. Here, we report a superionic conductor (NaV(PO), NVP) bonding surface strategy for O3-type layered NaNiFeMnO (NFM) cathode to suppress electrolyte corrosion and near-surface structure deconstruction, especially at high operating potential. The strong bonding affinity at the NVP/NFM contact interface stabilizes the crystal structure by inhibiting surface parasitic reactions and transition metal dissolution, thus significantly improving the phase change reversibility at high desodiation state and prolonging the lifespan of NFM cathode. Due to the high-electron-conductivity of NFM, the redox activity of NVP is also enhanced to provide additional capacity. Therefore, benefiting from the fast ion transport kinetics and electrochemical Na-storage activity of NVP, the composite NFM@NVP electrode displays a high initial coulombic efficiency of 95.5 % at 0.1 C and excellent rate capability (100 mAh g at 20 C) within high cutoff voltage of 4.2 V. The optimized cathode also delivers preeminent cyclic stability with ∼80 % capacity retention after 500 cycles at 2 C. This work sheds light on a facile and universal strategy on improving interphase stability to develop fast-charging and sustainable batteries.

The thermodynamic equilibrium assumption often invoked in modeling ion migration in solid-state materials remains insufficient to capture the true migration behavior of Li ions, particularly in less-crystalline superionic conductors that exhibit anomalously high Li ion conductivity. Such materials challenge classical frameworks and necessitate a lattice dynamics-based perspective that explicitly accounts for nonequilibrium phonon interactions and transient structural responses. Here, we uncover a phonon-governed Li ion migration mechanism in garnet-structured superionic conductors by comparing Ta-doped LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO4) to its undoped analogue, LiLaZrAlO (LLZO).

Understanding the complex structural and chemical factors that influence ionic conduction mechanisms is paramount for developing advanced inorganic superionic conductors in all-solid-state batteries, particularly halide solid electrolytes with excellent electrochemical oxidative stability and mechanical sinterability. Herein, contrasting ionic conduction behaviors in I and Br substituted LiZrCl are revealed by combining experimental structural analyses and theoretical calculations. The inter-slab distance along the c-axis, which varies with the anion substitution and M2-M3 site disorder, is a key factor for opening the ab-plane conduction and facilitating the overall Li conduction.

Metallic sodium (Na) is an attractive anode material for sodium metal batteries (SMBs) due to its high theoretical capacity and natural abundance. However, the unstable electrolyte/electrode interface and uncontrollable Na dendrite growth arising from the inhomogeneous Na transfer have significantly restricted its practical feasibility. Herein, the topological insulator of bismuth selenide (BiSe), which has protected conducting states on its surface, is selected as a regulator to guide uniform Na transfer.

Lithium metal chlorides are promising superionic conductors for all-solid-state batteries (SSBs) due to their favorable mechanical properties, high ionic conductivity, and good oxidative stability (up to >4.2 V versus Li/Li). Nonetheless, chloride solid electrolytes (SEs) still undergo electrochemical degradation when paired with high-voltage cathodes such as LiNiCoMnO.

Relying on the anharmonic special displacement method, we introduce an ab initio quasistatic polymorphous framework to describe local disorder, anharmonicity, and electron-phonon coupling in superionic conductors. Using cubic Cu_{2}Se, we show that positional polymorphism yields the breakdown of the phonon quasiparticle picture, leading to extremely overdamped anharmonic vibrations while preserving transverse acoustic phonons, consistent with experiments. We also demonstrate highly broadened electronic spectral functions with band gap openings of 1.
