摘要

Anode-free all-solid-state batteries (AFASSBs) are potential candidates for next-generation electric mobility devices that offer superior energy density and stability by eliminating Li from the anode. However, despite its potential to stabilize the interface between sulfide solid electrolytes (SEs) and anode-free current collectors (CCs) efficiently, a controllable approach to incorporating MoS2 into AFASSBs has not yet been found. Herein, we propose a strategy for stabilizing the interface of Li-free all-solid-state batteries using controllable MoS2 sacrificial thin films. MoS2 was controllably grown on CCs by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition, and the MoS2 sacrificial layer in contact with the SEs formed an interlayer composed of Mo metal and Li2S through a conversion reaction. In the AFASSBs with MoS2, Mo significantly reduces the nucleation overpotential of Li, which results in uniform Li plating. In addition, MoS2-based Li2S facilitates the formation of a uniform and robust SE interface, thereby enhancing the stability of AFASSBs. Based on these advantages, cells fabricated with MoS2 exhibited better performance as both asymmetrical and full cells with LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathodes than did cells without MoS2. Moreover, the cell performance was affected by the MoS2 size, and full cells having an optimal MoS2 thickness demonstrated a 1.18-fold increase in the initial discharge capacity and a sevenfold improvement in capacity retention relative to SUS CCs. This study offers a promising path for exploiting the full potential of MoS2 for interface stabilization and efficient AFASSB applications.
