Safe Li-ion batteries with enhanced energy and power density rely on utilization of lithium metal anodes in conjunction with non-flammable solid electrolytes that inhibit dendritic growth through mechanical rigidity. The kinetics, transport, mechanics complexations are strongly dependent on the microstructure of the solid electrolyte. In particular, garnet type electrolytes exhibit crystalline structure consisting of grain, grain boundaries and voids while glassy sulfide type electrolytes exhibit an amorphous structure with voids; with prominent dependence of the transport properties (ionic conductivity) and mechanical properties (shear modulus, fracture toughness) on the structural arrangement. The Li metal-solid electrolyte interface also shows a wide degree of stochasticity due to the imperfect solid-solid contact delineating the importance of surface roughness effects on kinetics and interlayer design to promote surface uniformity. In this work, we investigate these coupled interactions and delineate electrodeposition stability for aforementioned class of inorganic solid electrolytes cognizant of microstructural considerations.
