In conventional Li-ion batteries, the utilization of the gravimetric/ volumetric energy density at the electrode level is unsatisfactory (<84 wt% and <62 vol%, respectively) due to the existence of non-electrochemical active parts among the 3D porous electrodes, including electrolytes, binders, and carbon additives. These are regarded as indispensable and irreducible components of the electronic and ionic transport network. Here, a dense “all-electrochem- active” (AEA) electrode for all-solid-state Li batteries is proposed, which is entirely constructed from a family of superior mixed electronic–ionic-conducting cathodes, to minimize the energy density gap between the accessible and theoretical energy density at the electrode level. Furthermore, with the ionic– electronic-conductive network self-supported from the AEA cathode, the dense hybrid sulfur (S)-based AEA electrode exhibits a high compacted filling rate of 91.8%, which indicates a high energy density of 777 W h kg−1 and 1945 W h L−1 at the electrode level based on the total cathodes and anodes when at 70 °C. 1.

Following a lengthy competi- tion, lithium (Li)-ion batteries have come to dominate almost all the critical applications, including consumer elec- tronic devices, electric transportation, and electric grid energy storage.[1,2] Com- pared with the early Li-ion batteries pro- duced by Sony in the 1990s (80 W h kg−1, 200 W h L−1 [LiCoO2/C]),[3] the energy densities of the state-of-the-art Li-ion bat- teries have increased more than three- fold (≈300 W h kg−1 [NCM811/Si–C], ≈700 W h L−1 [LiCoO2/C]).[4,5] However, it is alarming that the energy density of the current type Li-ion batteries is very close to the limit.[6] The energy density at the electrode level is not only determined by the theoretical energy density of the elec- trochemical couples (energy density = average voltage × specific capacity) but is also highly sensitive to the weight fraction of the inactive com- ponents.[7,8] In addition, the binder and any conductive addi- tives, especially the filling electrolyte, not only limit the energy density but also involve various security issues. As such, a number of research studies and technologies have been aimed at reducing the fraction of the inactive mass or volume; how- ever, the attendant strategy is, at best, borderline. In fact, only one case overcomes this barrier, that is, the Li metal anode. The absence of inactive additives and the high 0+− −1 −1 energy density (Li → Li + e , 3860 mA h g , 2061 mA h L ) ensure it is a prominent representative electrode.[9,10] In fact, the Li metal anode can be regarded as an “all-electrochem- active” (AEA) anode. However, on the cathode side, the reali- zation of an AEA is primarily limited by its insufficient elec- tronic conductivity (10−4–10−10 S cm−1), which is over five orders of magnitude lower than the conductive carbon black (≈10 S cm−1),[11,12] and its sluggish Li-ion diffusion coefficiency (DLi) (10−10–10−15 cm2 s−1) that is much smaller than the liquid 1 m LiPF6 in dimethyl carbonate–ethylene carbonate electro- lytes (≈2 × 10−6 cm2 s−1).[13,14] To guarantee a well interconnected electronic–ionic network, the porous 3D electrode structure of the traditional Li-ion cathode must be uniformly filled with the conductive additive (carbon black), the polymer binder, and the liquid electrolytes, the total weight and volume frac- tions of which are >10 wt% and >30 vol%, respectively[15–17] (see the detailed information in Tables S1 and S2, Supporting Information). The equivalent specific capacity (ESC = C/melectrode, C is the capacity of the cathode and melectrode = mcathode + mbinder + DOI: 10.1002/adma.202008723 Adv.
