The Crucial Role of Vacancy Concentration in Enabling Superatomic Diffusion in Lithium Intermetallics
Anode-free solid-state Li batteries promise significant increases in energy densities compared to current commercial batteries that rely on liquid electrolytes. Major challenges persist in controlling morphological evolution during the plating and stripping of lithium metal at the anode current collector. Elemental additives that alloy with lithium have been found to modify the plating and stripping behavior of lithium. Many alloying elements form intermetallics with lithium and the mobility of Li through these intermetallics is believed to have an important effect on morphological evolution. This study shows that Li transport coefficients through intermetallics span a wide range in values, with the B32 LiAl intermetallic predicted to have a Li tracer diffusion coefficient as high as 10–6 cm2/s at room temperature, which is 8 orders of magnitude larger than that of isostructural B32 LiZn. This work demonstrates the crucial role of vacancy concentration in controlling the mobility of Li atoms through intermetallics. While the migration barriers for Li-vacancy exchanges in both LiAl and LiZn are remarkably low, the superatomic conductivity in LiAl is shown to arise from the unique electronic structure of the B32 LiAl compound, which favors high concentrations of vacancies.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
