Abstract:

<h2>Study Overview</h2> <p> In this study, the influence of atomic layer deposition (ALD) derived Li-Al-O interphases in garnet-type Li<sub>6.4</sub>La<sub>3</sub>Zr<sub>1.4</sub>Ta<sub>0.6</sub>O<sub>12</sub> (LLZTO) solid-state electrolyte (SSE) was investigated. Garnet-type SSE are prone to lithium dendrite growth along interfaces, which causes short-circuits, significantly reducing cell performance. ALD offers high control over coating chemistry and morphology to precisly modify these interfaces in SSEs. Here, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> ALD coatings were applied on LLZTO powder. MAS NMR, XPS and STEM analysis reveal the formation of a compositionally graded Li-Al-O interphase upon deposition due to proton-exchange-induced lithium diffusion. During high-temperature sintering, the ALD coating induces densification and considerable interdiffusion with LLZTO, resulting in a multi-phase microstructure which can be directly controlled via the ALD process, as confirmed by XRD, SEM and EDS measurments. Electrochemical testing reveals that medium-thickness coatings (~ 6.8 nm, 25 ALD cycles) yield optimal performance, exhibiting ionic conductivity at room temperature of 0.39 mS/cm with good Li-dendrite resitance and long-term cycling stability. </p> <hr> <h2>Dataset Description</h2> <p> This dataset contains NMR, XPS, XRD, Ellipsometry, EDS line scans, and electrochemical measurements to investigate Li-Al-O interphases in LLZTO. </p> <p> The dataset is organized into the following folders: </p> <dl> <dt><strong>NMR</strong></dt> <dd> <sup>27</sup>Al Solid-state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy experiments were performed using an AvanceNEO spectrometer (Bruker). Data are stored in the folder <code>NMR</code>. </dd> <dt><strong>XPS</strong></dt> <dd> X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements of the Al 2p and C 1s region were conducted using a NEXSA G2 spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
