Advancements in Lithium All-Solid-State Batteries Bring Hope for Future Energy Storage

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

New research conducted at the Ohio State University has shed light on the potential of lithium all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) to revolutionize the field of energy storage. According to the study, ASSBs have the potential to outperform traditional lithium-ion batteries due to their higher energy density and enhanced safety. However, the complex nature of solid-solid interfaces poses a significant challenge to their commercialization.

The researchers investigated the impact of nonlinear deformation of solid electrolytes on the active materials/solid electrolytes interfacial stress state using a simple 1D spherical model. Their findings suggest that analytical solutions can serve as a preliminary estimate for assessing interfacial stress in solid electrolyte materials beyond the linear elasticity range.

This research has significant implications for the development of ASSBs, which are crucial for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. The study was funded by the NSF National Research Trineeship Program and the Ohio State EmPOWERment Program.
