In the context of usage as a solid electrolyte (SE) for Li-based solid-state cells, the interfacial characteristics of Li-Lazirconate (LLZO) with the electrodes and the mechanical properties of LLZO influence the overall impedance and stability. In this regard, the newly developed air-stable Al/Mg-co-doped LLZO has been found to possess greater resistance to crack propagation (by ∼31%) and fracture stress (by ∼52%), along with elevated hardness and stiffness, as compared to simply Al-doped LLZO. Furthermore, as directly visualized via cross-section electron microscopy at the Li/LLZO interfaces, the air-stability, along with mechanical robustness of Al/Mg-co-doped LLZO, facilitates the complete absence of impurity phase and cracks at the Li/LLZO interface, unlike for the simply Al-doped LLZO. These result in a very low area specific resistance for the Li/"Al/Mg-co-doped LLZO" interface of ∼9 Ω cm 2 , which is ∼3 times lower than that at the Li/"Al-doped LLZO" interface and is also among the lowest reported to date for Li/LLZO interfaces, that too sans any surface/interfacial coating/engineering. Galvanostatic Li-plating/stripping cycles indicate that the critical current density toward initiating Li-dendrite nucleation/propagation is higher in the case of Al/Mg-co-doped LLZO SE, viz., ∼0.45 mA/cm 2 , than for the Al-doped counterpart (viz., ∼0.25 mA/cm 2 ). Furthermore, Li-stripping/plating cycles @ 0.1 mA/cm 2 have revealed outstanding stability of polarization voltage up to at least 100 cycles upon using Al/Mg-codoped LLZO as the SE, in contrast to the instability right from the 36th cycle onward with the Al-doped LLZO. This indicates superior suppression toward Li-dendrite nucleation/ propagation by the Al/Mg-codoped LLZO, unlike by Al-doped LLZO, as also directly visualized via cross-section electron microscopy post-cycling. The air-stability induced a clean Li/LLZO interface (viz., good contact), which, together with the mechanical robustness of Al/Mg-codoped LLZO, resulted in the very low interfacial resistance and excellent suppression toward Lidendrite nucleation/propagation, leading to high CCD and very stable long-term Li-stripping/plating. Overall, in addition to highlighting the notable advantages offered by the Al/Mg-co-doped LLZO solid electrolyte, the insights obtained as part of this work are expected to lead to the successful and facile development of high-performance solid-state Li-based cells.
