On The Journey toward Competent All Solid State Electrolytes

Energy storage systems poised to offer improved performances beyond that afforded by Li-ion batteries are intensely being studied. Of these, all solid state batteries ASSBs promise to dramatically improve the energy storage densities and efficiencies by way of utilizing non-flammable solid state electrolytes SSEs that possess high compatibility with reactive anode and cathode materials, such as metallic anodes and high voltage cathodes. Unfortunately, all known families of SSEs fall short from fulfilling this demand and thus new SSE materials are required. We will herein discuss the status of these technologies and report critical SSEs advancements conducted in our group.
