 Solid State Battery

A solid-state battery is a battery that has both

solid electrodes and solid electrolytes.
As a group, these materials are very good
conductors of ions, which is necessary for good
electrolyte and electrode performance, and are
essentially insulating toward electrons, which is
desirable in electrolytes but undesirable in
electrodes.

The high ionic conductivity minimizes the internal

resistance of the battery, thus permitting high
power densities, while the high electronic
resistance minimizes its self-discharge rate, thus
enhancing its charge retention (They tend to
have very long shelf lives).
high-energy density
They are easy to miniaturize (for example, they
can be constructed in thin film form)

high power-to-weight ratio, they may be ideal for

use in electric vehicles. Such batteries are
estimated to have two-to-three times the energy
density of existing automotive batteries.
Usually do not have any abrupt changes in
performance with temperature, such as might be
associated with electrolyte freezing or boiling

They do not burn well; significantly lower risk of

explosion.
Examples of such materials include Ag4RbI5 for
Ag+ conduction, LiI/Al2O3 mixtures for Li+
conduction, and the clay and -alumina group of
compounds (NaAl11O17) for Na+ and other mono-
and divalent ions.

In March 2017, researchers announced a solid-

state battery called a glass battery which has a
glass electrolyte doped with lithium, oxygen and
chlorine ions, and with 3 times the energy density
of conventional lithium-ion batteries. An
extended life of more than 1,200 cycles was
demonstrated.
