Abstrakt: Hybrid battery cells that combine a garnet-type Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) solid electrolyte with other solid, polymer or liquid electrolytes are increasingly investigated. In such cells with layered electrolytes, ensuring a low-resistive heteroionic interface between neighboring electrolytes is crucial for preventing major additional overpotentials during operation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is frequently used to extract such parameters, usually on multilayer symmetrical model cells that contain the different electrolytes stacked in series. Unfortunately, the impedance contributions of the heteroionic interfaces often overlap with those of the electrolyte|electrode interfaces, necessitating the use of sophisticated four-point cells that probe the electrochemical potential away from the polarization source. In this work, an alternative solution to this problem is demonstrated by taking advantage of the inherent fast charge transfer kinetics of LLZO with its parent metal electrode. The "resistance-free" nature of a reversible Li|LLZO interface enables a precise evaluation of the heteroionic interface impedance in symmetric two-point cells of the type Li|LLZO|electrolyte|LLZO|Li with negligible electrode contribution. This is exemplified for symmetric multilayer cells containing tantalum-doped LLZO and a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based dry polymer electrolyte. Validation and comparison of impedance data with results from symmetric four-point cells and two-point cells with ion-blocking electrodes demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method. Overall, this study presents a simple and reliable method for studying heteroionic interface impedances in LLZO-containing multilayer cells.
