Inorganic solid-state batteries - Manufacturing scalability implications - Univ of California

Solid-state batteries now being developed could be key to achieving the widespread adoption of electric vehicles — potentially a major step toward a carbon-free transportation sector.

Solid electrolytes, they use a high-capacity positive electrode and a high-capacity, lithium metal negative electrode that’s far thinner than the usual layer of porous carbon. Those changes make it possible to shrink the overall battery considerably while maintaining its energy storage capacity, thereby achieving a higher energy density.
