An All-Solid-State Battery (ASSB) is a type of rechargeable battery that uses solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte, as opposed to the liquid or gel electrolytes found in conventional lithium-ion batteries. The main components of an ASSB include a solid cathode, a solid anode, and a solid electrolyte that facilitates the movement of ions between the electrodes during the charge and discharge cycles.
ASSBs are notable for their potential to offer higher energy density, improved safety, and enhanced longevity compared to traditional batteries. Because they do not contain flammable liquid electrolytes, they are less prone to leakage and thermal runaway, making them safer for use in various applications, including electric vehicles and portable electronics. The absence of liquid components also allows for a more compact design, contributing to their appeal for future energy storage solutions.
Research is ongoing to improve the performance, manufacturing processes, and cost-effectiveness of all-solid-state batteries to make them viable for widespread commercial use.
