논문 초록 (Abstract)

We used a cesium hexafluorophosphate (CsPF6)-containing liquid electrolyte for surface-patterned Li metal anodes and confirmed that there is a synergistic improvement in the electrochemical performance such as cycle performance and rate capability. For instance, the surface-patterned Li metal maintains 91.4% of the initial discharge capacity after the 1000th cycle (C/2 = 0.8 mA cm(-2) for charging, 1C for discharging). When a large quantity of the CsPF6-containing liquid electrolyte (600 mu L) is used, the bare Li metal and surface-patterned Li metal are more effectively stabilized in comparison with the case where 80 mu L of electrolyte is used, resulting in improved electrochemical performance. Through systematic testing, we recognize that these results are because of the self-healing electrostatic shield mechanism, which is mainly dependent on the amount of Cs+ ions. A small amount of Cs+ ions cannot effectively counteract the incoming Li+ ions because they cannot form an effective electrostatic shield on the protrusions present on the Li metal surface.
