The Future of Lithium-Ion and Solid-State Batteries
Solid-state battery technology incorporates solid metal electrodes as well as a solid electrolyte. Although the chemistry is generally the same, solid-state designs avoid leakage and corrosion at the electrodes, which reduces the risk of fire and lowers design costs because it eliminates the need for safety features.
New Li-Ion Superconductor Enables Safe, High-Performance All-Solid ...
To solve this safety issue, all-solid-state battery technology, in which all battery components are replaced with solid materials, has recently attracted great attention. However, unlike a liquid electrolyte in which Li-ions can freely move, a solid electrolyte has a low Li-ion conductivity of 1/10 to 1/100 of that of a liquid electrolyte ...
So in solid-state battery manufacturing, the hurdles are, at the moment, it is still a nascent technology. So the giga factories are built for lithium ion batteries. So you can''t really do a drop-in solution to make those solid-state batteries, that they require a reinvention of how the factory should look like.
