The natural reserves of lithium are limited to only 0.0017 wt% of the earth's crust, and its extraction process is both costly and difficult. This forces the research community to develop alternate or new rechargeable battery technologies to overcome the shortage of lithium resources and partly substitute LIBs in some energy storage applications.
Non-lithium based solid state batteries are attaining widespread commercial applications, as are also lithium based polymeric solid state electrolytes. Tabular representations and schematic diagrams are provided to underscore the unique characteristics of solid state batteries and their capacity to occupy a niche in the alternative energy sector.
A primary challenge is the high cost of production, particularly of the lithium which makes it difficult to use in large-scale applications. Currently, most of the lithium based solid state batteries have been used for mobile and small-scale applications. Secondly, the output power densities and long–term cycle life are still not satisfactory.
Cells, one of the major components of battery packs, are the site of electrochemical reactions that allow energy to be released and stored. They have three major components: anode, cathode, and electrolyte. In most commercial lithium ion (Li-ion cells), these components are as follows:
All solid state batteries utilize solid state electrolytes to overcome the safety issues of liquid electrolytes. Drawbacks for all-solid state lithium-ion batteries include high resistance at ambient temperatures and design intricacies.
A Li-ion battery consists of a intercalated lithium compound cathode (typically lithium cobalt oxide, LiCoO 2) and a carbon-based anode (typically graphite), as seen in Figure 2A. Usually the active electrode materials are coated on one side of a current collecting foil.
