ABSTRACTLithium solid-state composite electrolytes (LiSCEs) provide the opportunity for long life spans, low self-discharge, high reliability, high energy density, and safety. Additionally, this class of electrolytes can be used in electrolytically formed solid-state batteries (EFBs), which may promote reductions in cell manufacturing costs due to their simplicity of design and permit the formation of batteries with diverse architectures. Herein, we provide a discussion of LiSCEs, highlight some of the recent progress in EFB development, and present a forward outlook.

In the coming years, the demand for safe electrical energy storage devices with high energy density will increase drastically due to the electrification of the transportation sector and the need for stationary storage for renewable energies. Advanced battery concepts like all-solid-state batteries (ASBs) are considered one of the most promising candidates for future energy storage technologies. They offer several advantages over conventional Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs), especially with regard to stability, safety, and energy density. Hardly any recycling studies have been conducted, yet, but such examinations will play an important role when considering raw materials supply, sustainability of battery systems, CO2 footprint, and general strive towards a circular economy. Although different methods for recycling LIBs are already available, the transferability to ASBs is not straightforward due to differences in used materials and fabrication technologies, even if the chemistry does not change (e.g., Li-intercalation cathodes). Challenges in terms of the ceramic nature of the cell components and thus the necessity for specific recycling strategies are investigated here for the first time. As a major result, a recycling route based on inert shredding, a subsequent thermal treatment, and a sorting step is suggested, and transferring the extracted black mass to a dedicated hydrometallurgical recycling process is proposed. The hydrometallurgical approach is split into two scenarios differing in terms of solubility of the ASB-battery components. Hence, developing a full recycling concept is reached by this study, which will be experimentally examined in future research.

Sodium is a promising candidate for stationary storage applications, especially when the demand for lithium-ion batteries increases due to electromobility applications. Even though its energy density is lower, Na-ion technology is estimated to lead to a cost reduction of 30% compared to Li-ion technology. To improve safety as well as energy density, Na-based all-solid-state-batteries featuring solid electrolytes such as beta-alumina and sodium superionic conductors and cathode materials such as Na3V2(PO4)3 and NaxCoO2 have been developed over the past years. However, the biggest challenge are mixed cathodes with highly conductive interfaces, especially when co-sintering the materials. For example, a promising sodium superionic conductor type Na3Zr2Si2PO12 electrolyte sinters at 1,250°C, whereas the corresponding Na3V2PO12 cathode decomposes at temperatures higher than 900°C, posing a bottleneck. Thus in this paper, we synthesized Na0.62 [Ni0.10Fe0.10Mn0.80]O2 as cathode material for all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries via a relatively cheap and easy solution-assisted solid state reaction processing route. The thermal investigations of the pure cathode material found no degradation up to 1,260°C, making it a perfect match for Na3.4Zr2Si2.4P0.6O12 electrolyte. In our aim to produce a co-sintered mixed cathode, electron microscopy investigation showed a highly dense microstructure and the elemental mapping performed via energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry confirm that Na3.4Zr2Si2.4P0.6O12 and Na0.62 [Ni0.10Fe0.10Mn0.80]O2 do not react during sintering. However, the active cathode material forms a sodium rich and a sodium deficient phase which needs further investigation to understand the origin and its impact on the electrochemical performance.

AbstractDue to their high conductivity and interface formability, sulfide electrolytes are attractive for use in high energy density all-solid-state batteries. However, electrode volume changes during charge-discharge cycling typically cause mechanical contact losses at the electrode/electrolyte interface, which leads to capacity fading. Here, to suppress this contact loss, isolated PS43- anions are reacted with iodine to prepare a sulfide polymer electrolyte that forms a sticky gel during dispersion in anisole and drying of the resulting supernatant. This polymer, featuring flexible (–P–S–S–)n chains and enhanced solubility in anisole, is applied as a lithium-ion-conductive binder in sheet-type all-solid-state batteries, creating cells with low resistance and high capacity retention.

The lithium ion battery, with its high energy density and low reduction potential, continues to enchant researchers and dominate the landscape of energy storage systems development. However, the demands of technology in modern society have begun to reveal limitations of the lithium energy revolution. A combination of safety concerns, strained natural resources and geopolitics have inspired the search for alternative energy storage and delivery platforms. Traditional liquid electrolytes prove precarious in large scale schemes due to the propensity for leakage, the potential for side reactions and their corrosive nature. Alternative electrolytic materials in the form of solid inorganic ion conductors and solid polymer matrices offer new possibilities for all solid state batteries. In addition to the engineering of novel electrolyte materials, there is the opportunity to employ post-lithium chemistries. Utility of multivalent cation (Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+ and Al3+) transport promises a reduction in cost and increase in safety. In this review, we examine the current research focused on developing solid electrolytes using multivalent metal cation charge carriers and the outlook for their application in all solid state batteries.

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have attracted much attention in recent years, due to their high energy density, excellent cycling performance, and superior safety property. As the key factor of all-solid-state batteries, solid electrolyte determines the performance of the batteries. Garnet-typed cubic Li7La3Zr2O12(LLZO) has been reported as the most promising solid electrolyte on the way to ASSBs. Thin film electrolyte could contribute to a higher energy density and a lower resistance in a battery. This short review exhibits the latest efforts on LLZO thin film and discusses the different preparation methods, together with their effects on characteristics and electrochemical performances of the solid electrolyte film.
