Energy storage superimposed on solid-state batteries

Are solid-state batteries the future of energy storage?

As global energy priorities shift toward sustainable alternatives, the need for innovative energy storage solutions becomes increasingly crucial. In this landscape, solid-state batteries (SSBs) emerge as a leading contender, offering a significant upgrade over conventional lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy density, safety, and lifespan.

Are solid-state batteries a viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries?

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) represent a promising advancement in energy storage technology, offering higher energy density and improved safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, several challenges impede their widespread adoption. A critical issue is the interface instability between solid electrolytes and electrodes .

What is a solid-state battery (SSB)?

The solid-state battery (SSB) is a novel technology that has a higher specific energy density than conventional batteries. This is possible by replacing the conventional liquid electrolyte inside batteries with a solid electrolyte to bring more benefits and safety.
