Herein, we report distinct mechanical-electrochemical coupling patterns between sulfide- and halide-based solid electrolytes through dynamic pressure modulation. We designed a multi-channel pressure-electrochemistry coupling platform (pressure range: 0–380 MPa, resolution: ± 0.01 MPa) to elucidate how pressure conditions govern interfacial contact stability and cycling performance. For sulfide-based systems (e.g., Li₆PS₅Cl, LPSC), a dynamic pressure controlling protocol allows the regulation of electrolyte creep behavior, enabling sustained interfacial contact for electrochemical reactions. This approach achieves an specific capacity of 227.3 mAh g⁻¹ and capacity retention of 89.1 % after 300 cycles for a typical Li-In||LiNi_0.93Co_0.02Mn_0.05O₂ cell. In contrast, halide-based systems employing Li₃InCl₆ (LIC) require a constant and high external pressure to maintain electrochemical stability. Mechanistic studies attribute the enhanced performance of LPSC to its stress-adaptive creep behavior, which dynamically stabilizes interfaces during cycling. Conversely, the lower resilience and toughness of LIC necessitate sustained external pressure to preserve solid-solid contacts in both bulk electrolyte and composite cathodes. These findings establish tailored pressure management protocol for sulfide- and halide-based electrolytes, providing guidelines for further optimization of the electrochemical performance of ASSLBs via mechanical-electrochemical coupling strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":431,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Ionics","volume":"427 ","pages":"Article 116887"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143947686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a P2/O3 biphasic system Na_0.67Ni_0.33Fe_0.33Mn_0.33O₂ (Na0.67NFM) is synthesized by a sol-gel and subsequent solid phase calcination method. Furthermore, the structural characteristics of Na0.67NFM calcined at 900 °C (Na0.67NFM-900) are investigated, revealing that it maintains a high stability even after exposure in humid ambient air for 5 days. Although a small amount of Na₂CO₃ and NaHCO₃ is produced on the surface of Na0.67NFM-900, the main P2/O3 structure still maintains overall integrity into the internal bulk phase. Therefore, the electrochemical performance of Na0.67NFM cathode is not significantly affected after short-term air exposure. After 200 cycles at 1C, the capacity retention of Na0.67NFM-900 cathode still remains 72.3 %, which is almost comparable to that of the unexposed one (75.7 %).
