The critical interphase overpotential (CIOP) represents the capability of the interphase on solid-state electrolyte surfaces to suppress Li-dendrite penetration. An interphase with a high CIOP is shown to enable an all-solid-state Li-metal battery to operate at high current and high capacity.

This paper reports that Li-dendrite penetration can be suppressed by avoiding the formation of voids at the Li–SSE interface using Na–K liquid metal.
