Expanding the lifespan of solid-state batteries
Solid-state batteries offer higher energy storage and safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, but their lifespan is often limited. The formation of lithium dendrites during charging leads to short circuits within the battery. Researchers are exploring new materials and designs to extend the lifespan of these next-generation batteries.
- ▪Solid-state batteries have a higher energy-storage capacity and increased safety compared to lithium-ion batteries.
- ▪Dendrites form at the electrodes during charging, penetrating the solid electrolyte and causing short circuits over time.
- ▪A more stable electrolyte material and protective coatings could help extend the lifespan of solid-state batteries.
