Batteries and Fuel Cells

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Background:

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are key to developing safer, high-performance all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs).
Current research often focuses on discovering new SSE materials, overlooking critical practical challenges.
Existing ASSBs face limitations including poor interfacial stability, manufacturing scalability, and safety concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive review of SSEs beyond conventional metrics like conductivity and chemical stability.
To highlight crucial bulk, interface, and nanoscale phenomena requiring scientific attention.
To assess current characterization techniques and propose future full-cell ASSB prototyping strategies.

Main Methods:

Literature review and critical analysis of existing SSE research.
Evaluation of current state-of-the-art characterization techniques for SSEs.
Assessment of full-cell ASSB prototyping and recycling strategies.

Main Results:

Identified key barriers to ASSB commercialization: interfacial issues, scalability, and safety.
Highlighted the need for advanced characterization methods beyond standard conductivity and stability tests.
Proposed potential solutions for fundamental obstacles and outlined strategies for sustainable ASSB recycling.

Conclusions:

ASSB development requires a holistic approach addressing material discovery, interfacial engineering, and scalable manufacturing.
Sustainable recycling models are essential for the long-term viability of ASSB technology.
Further research into nanoscale phenomena and advanced characterization is crucial for overcoming current limitations.
