摘要
A robust solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI)enabled by electrolyte additive is a promising approach to stabilize Li anode and improve Li cycling efficiency.However,the self-sacrificial nature of SEI forming additives limits their capability to stabilize Li anode for long-term cycling.Herein,we demonstrate nanocapsules made from metal–organic frameworks for sustained release of LiNO3 as surface passivation additive in commercial carbonate-based electrolyte.The nanocapsules can offer over 10 times more LiNO3 than the solubility of LiNO3.Continuous supply of LiNO3 by nanocapsules forms a nitride-rich SEI layer on Li anode and persistently remedies SEI during prolonged cycling.As a result,lifespan of thin Li anode in 50μm,which experiences drastic volume change and repeated SEI formation during cycling,has been notably improved.By pairing with an industry-level thick LiCoO2 cathode,practical Li-metal full cell demonstrates a remarkable capacity retention of 90%after 240 cycles,in contrast to fast capacity drop after 60 cycles in LiNO3 saturated electrolyte.
