Abstract:

All-solid-state lithium batteries with metal sulfide pyrite (FeS2) as cathode can achieve a high reversible specific capacity. However, the large stress/strain and poor solid-solid contact during cycling seriously impedes the electrochemical performances of all-solid-state lithium batteries. In this work, Co-doped FeS2 nanoparticles are synthesized by the solvothermal method, and the Li7P3S11 solid electrolytes are in-situ coated on the surface of Co0.1Fe0.9S2 nanoparticles to form Co0.1Fe0.9S2@Li7P3S11 nanocomposite materials. The doping of the transition metal Co can improve the electrochemical reaction kinetics of FeS2, and the in-situ coating of Li7P3S11 solid electrolyte can further improve the solid-solid contact and lithium-ion transportation at the interface, which results in excellent electrochemical performances of the all-solid-state lithium batteries. Transmission electron microscopy observation confirms that Li7P3S11 solid electrolyte is coated on the surface of Co0.1Fe0.9S2 nanoparticles. Electrochemical performance tests show that the coating of Li7P3S11 solid electrolyte can effectively improve the specific capacity and cycling stability of FeS2-based all-solid-state lithium batteries. The Co0.1Fe0.9S2@Li7P3S11 composite cathode delivers a high discharge capacity of 882.1 mA·h/g at 200 mA g-1 and maintains a value of 670.9 mA·h/g after 100 cycles. This work can promote the application of metal sulfide cathode materials for all-solid-state lithium batteries and provide experimental evidence for the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries with a higher energy density.
