Advantages Solid-state battery technology is believed to be capable of higher energy density (2.5x),[41] because of the use of lithium metal anode. They may avoid the use of dangerous or toxic materials found in commercial batteries, such as organic electrolytes.[42] Because most liquid electrolytes are flammable and solid electrolytes are nonflammable, solid-state batteries are believed to be safer. Fewer safety systems are needed, further increasing energy density.[1][42] Recent studies show that the heat generation inside is only ~20-30% of conventional batteries with liquid electrolyte under thermal runaway.[43] Solid-state battery technology is believed to allow for faster recharge.[44][45] Higher voltage and longer cycle life is possible.[42][32] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_battery https://www.inkwoodresearch.com/reports/solid-state-battery-market/ https://www.msesupplies.com/blogs/n...-of-500-miles-that-can-be-charged-in-1-minute ...The main electrolyte-related challenges for practical solid-state devices include utilization of metal anodes, stabilization of interfaces and the maintenance of physical contact, the solutions to which hinge on gaining greater knowledge of the underlying properties of solid electrolyte materials.AbstractIn the critical area of sustainable energy storage, solid-state batteries have attracted considerable attention due to their potential safety, energy-density and cycle-life benefits. This Review describes recent progress in the fundamental understanding of inorganic solid electrolytes, which lie at the heart of the solid-state battery concept, by addressing key issues in the areas of multiscale ion transport, electrochemical and mechanical properties, and current processing routes. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-019-0431-3
