2. Solid Electrolytes: The Heart of Solid-State Batteries The gradual shift to solid electrolytes has been influenced by the prior development of conventional lithium (Li) batteries, which have traditionally employed liquid electrolytes.
Solid-state technology's improved safety profile drives this shift due to the capability of solid-state electrolytes to reduce the risk of thermal runaway, leakage, and flammability. Furthermore, solid-state batteries present intrinsic resistance to dendrite formation, improved long-term stability, and reduced safety concerns.
One of the reasons for the poor performance of solid-state batteries is the formation of Space Charge Layer (SCL) at the interface of SE and cathode . Since sulfide based SEs tend to oxidize much quicker than cathode materials (mostly oxides), electrons are able to move from the electrolyte to the cathode, i.e., charge the battery .
Moreover, there is hesitation towards this technology as, in general, solid-state batteries face disadvantages in unstable cyclability, elevated operating temperature, mechanical weakness, and high interfacial electrode-electrolyte impedance.
However, they face significant challenges in processing and exhibit poor chemical and mechanical properties at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. These limitations pose a considerable constraint on their practical application in battery technology.
Research should focus on developing standardized testing protocols to evaluate and compare the safety profiles of various solid-state battery technologies.
