While the impetus to develop lithium metal solid-state batteries is clear, identifying a practical manufacturing process is challenging. Herewith, authors study the underlying mechanisms controlling in-situ anode formation that could enable viable lithium-free manufacturing.
The research not only describes a new way to make solid state batteries with a lithium metal anode but also offers new understanding into the materials used for these potentially revolutionary batteries. The research is published in Nature Materials.
The pursuit of high specific energy and high safety has promoted the transformation of lithium metal batteries from liquid to solid-state systems. In addition to high reactivity and mobile interface, all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) still faces severe inhomogeneity in mechanical and electrochemical properties.
Similar to conventional battery systems, solid-state batteries require processing and manufacturing approaches for anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes. Unlike conventional battery systems, solid state batteries require unique materials processing conditions (temperature and pressure).
The manufacturing process of a solid-state battery depends on the type of solid electrolytes. Rigid or brittle solid electrolytes are challenging to employ in cylindrical or prismatic cells. More focus should be given to the development of compliant solid electrolytes.
Supply chain (mining, processing, refining, shipping) for solid state batteries is anticipated to be more challenging than conventional LIBs, due to the use of critical elements (e.g.; Ge, Ta) and increases in lithium content (Fig. 1 a,b).
