Schematic: Nano-Coating of Boron Nitride to Stabilize Solid Electrolytes in Lithium Metal Batteries

Caption

An artificial boron nitride (BN) film is chemically and mechanically robust against lithium. It electronically isolates lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP) from lithium, but still provides stable ionic pathways when infiltrated by polyethylene oxide (PEO), and thus enables stable cycling.
