Research Progress in Power-Oriented Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on research progress in power-oriented solid-state lithium-ion batteries (SSLBs) delves into the cutting-edge advances and challenges in the field, highlighting the shift toward safer, more efficient battery technologies. Central to this issue is the development of innovative solid electrolytes that promise higher ionic conductivities and improved mechanical properties. These advancements aim to leverage the benefits of solid electrolytes for enhanced safety and higher energy densities, particularly through the potential integration of lithium metal anodes.

Addressing the critical issue of interfacial impedance, this Special Issue explores various strategies for stabilizing and optimizing the electrode–electrolyte interface, a key aspect in achieving high-power output and longevity in SSLBs. Innovative cell architectures and manufacturing techniques are also discussed, focusing on scalability and the adaptation of SSLBs to diverse applications, from electric vehicles to wearable electronics.

Moreover, this Special Issue underscores the ongoing efforts made to overcome the challenges of scaling up production, ensuring consistent performance, and reducing costs. By providing a comprehensive overview of the current research, material innovations, and future directions, this Special Issue aims to chart the path for SSLBs in powering the next generation of electronic devices and electric vehicles, marking a pivotal step toward a more sustainable and efficient energy future.
