New crystalline phase discovered in solid-state battery interfaces via simulations

Researchers have utilized large-scale, quantum-accurate reactive simulations combined with active learning and deep equivariant neural networks to study the evolution of interfaces in solid-state batteries. This approach, which avoids adjustable parameters fitted to experiments, revealed a previously unreported crystalline disordered phase, Li$_2$S$_{0.72}$P$_{0.14}$Cl$_{0.14}$, within the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). The simulations also elucidated Li creep mechanisms along the interface, which are critical for understanding dendrite initiation. AI
