Transformative Solid-State Battery Technology, from Concept to Commercialization

Solid-state batteries are a transformational and intrinsically safe energy storage solution. However, progress has been limited by high solid-solid interfacial impedance and numerous reports of Li-dendrites. By modifying the electrolyte composition and interface in a rationally designed 3D architecture we have been able to overcome these limitations achieving both high energy density and cycling rates of 100 mA/cm2 at room temperature with no applied pressure. The science and engineering of this technology will be described as well as the path to commercialization and lessons learned in that endeavor.
