The operation of high-energy all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries at low stack pressure is challenging owing to the Li dendrite growth at the Li anodes and the high interfacial resistance at the cathodes 1-4 . Here we design a Mg 16 Bi 84 interlayer at the Li/Li 6 PS 5 Cl interface to suppress the Li dendrite growth, and a F-rich interlayer on LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) cathodes to reduce the interfacial resistance. During Li plating-stripping cycles, Mg migrates from the Mg 16 Bi 84 interlayer to the Li anode converting Mg 16 Bi 84 into a multifunctional LiMgS x -Li 3 Bi-LiMg stru...
