Artificial Solid Electrolyte Interface With Superhalogen-Based Double Antiperovskite Li6os(Bh4)2 Materials For Dentrite-Free And Stable Lithium Metal Batteries, Gazi Mahfujul Alam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Lithium (Li) metal is regarded as the most propitious anode material for next-generation battery technologies owing to its incredibly high theoritical capacity (3860 mAh g-1) and the most negative electrochemical equilibrium potential (-3.04 V vs standard hydrogen electrode). However, the practical implementation of Li anode in commercial lithium batteries is severely inhibited by the unstable solid liquid interfaces resulting from the ultrahigh reactivity, which leads to dendrite growth, low coulombic efficiency, extreme volume fluctuation, and even safety concerns. For a stable and efficient lithium anode to build next generation Li metal battery, in this thesis, we have tried to solve …
