In summary, previous attempts to plate and strip Li metal mated with inorganic solid electrolytes at current densities above 0.5 mA cm -2 at high areal capacities (> 1.5 mAh cm -2 ) have mostly met with cell failure due to either metal penetration of the solid electrolyte or void formation at the interface being stripped (with the exclusion of recent work on an anodeless Li solid-state cell incorporating a Ag-C electrode ). The main strategy for mitigating void formation and increasing the critical current density has involved the application of significant stack pressures (up to 7 MPa) to replenish Li at the interface via metal creep . In contrast, we show in this work that by introducing a thin layer of liquid Na-K alloy at the interface between Li metal and LLZTO solid electrolyte it is possible to strip Li metal at current densities above 0.5 mA cm -2 with stable impedance up to stripped capacities of 30 mAh cm -2 , while using minimal stack pressure. The Na-K alloy further provides an additional benefit of eliminating the need for pretreating the lithium-solid electrolyte assembly to form a low impedance interface. The findings presented herein thus open novel ways to streamline the processing of metal electrode/ceramic electrolyte interfaces and relax design constraints for battery engineering at the pack level. These results may promote the development of alternative Li-metal battery architectures enabling highenergy density all-solid-state batteries.
