Fig. 4: Charge–discharge profiles and long-term cyclability.

The charge–discharge profiles of Li-In|SE|TiS2ASSBs with a LPSI, b LPSC, c LSPSC, and d LASI-80Si sulfide SEs, respectively. Due to the low ionic conductivity of LPSI (~10−6 S cm−1 at 25 °C) compared with the other three sulfide SEs, Li-In|LPSI|TiS2ASSB can only cycle at low current density of 0.015 mA cm−2 and delivers a low specific capacity. e Comparison of 1st-cycle charge–discharge profiles for TiS2 composite cathodes without and with Li2S/LiI additives, including 0.5TiS2 + 0.5LPSC (black), 0.5TiS2 + 0.47LPSC + 0.03Li2S (blue), 0.5TiS2 + 0.47LPSC + 0.03LiI (red), and 0.5TiS2 + 0.47LPSC + 0.06LiI (cyan). f Comparison of 1st-cycle charge–discharge profiles for various TiS2 composite cathodes, including 0.5TiS2 + 0.5LSPSC (black), 0.5TiS2 + 0.44LSPSC + 0.03Li2S + 0.03LiI (blue), and 0.5TiS2 + 0.5LASI-80Si (red). The numerical value before each component represents its weight ratio in composite cathodes. g The discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency as a function of cycle number at 0.76 mA cm−2 for ASSBs with LPSC, LSPSC, and LASI-80Si sulfide SEs, respectively. h The charge/discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency as a function of cycle number at 2.44 mA cm−2 for Li-In|LASI-80Si|TiS2 ASSB. The ASSB first cycled at 0.122 and 1.22 mA cm−2 for five cycles, and subsequently cycled at 2.44 mA cm−2. i Comparison of cycle lives at different current densities for TiS2-based ASSBs coupling with various electrolytes, including the borohydride SEs58,59,60,61,62, glass63, glass-ceramics64, Thio-LISCICON27, LGPS-type65,66, and argyrodite-type67 sulfide SEs, and LASI-80Si in this work. Note that the number at x-axis corresponds to the No. at Supplementary Table 24. All cells assembled in this work were tested at 30 °C.
