Features:

Lithium Nitride Li₃N guides Li electrodeposition along its surface, creates a weakly solvating environment by decreasing Li⁺-solvent coordination. It also induces organic-poor solid-electrolyte interphases (SEI) on the Li metal anode and facilitates Li⁺ transport in the electrolyte. As a fast ion conductor, Li₃N has been shown to enhance wettability between Li metal and solid state electrolytes (SSEs), effectively preventing the growth of Li dendrites. Additionally, as an interlayer material between lithium metal and SSEs, Li₃N offers several advantages: (1) a high ionic conductivity of close to 1 mS·cm^-1 at room temperature, guaranteeing fast transport of lithium ions; (2) improved physical contact between lithium metal and SSEs due to enhanced wettability; and (3) reduced loss of SSEs by isolating direct contact between lithium metal and the electrolyte. Overall, it is an effective way to form a stable ion-conducting layer by adding a Li₃N between Li metal and the SSEs.
