Solid State Batteries – The Future of Batteries

Solid state batteries as the name suggest using a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte that is used in traditional Lithium-ion batteries.SimilaritiesIt follows the same mechanism as traditional Lithium-ion batteries, which is the movement of lithium ions from the cathode to anode during charging and anode to cathode during discharging.The movement of lithium ions happens in a similar way, which is through the electrolyte medium.Dissimilarities Solid state batteries use solid electrolyte instead of liquid electrolyte that is used in traditional Lithium-ion batteries. A traditional Lithium-ion battery has a liquid electrolyte along with a separator, which separates the positive and negative electrodes to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. Whereas, a solid-state battery contains a solid electrolyte, which separates the positive and negative electrodes, thereby…
