Solid-electrolyte batteries

Usually, in a given electrolyte solution, there is a similarity in the mechanism of SEI formation on carbon and metallic lithium.285 353 354 The mechanisms of SEI formation on lithium in numerous electrolytes are investigated since about three decades. In about the last 15 years, the focus continuously shifted from metallic lithium to carbon. There are a huge number of publications covering manifold aspects of the carbon s reactivity with the electrolytes and/or the SEI formation. The reader of this chapter is referred to the books published in this field recently and especially to the primary literature listed therein. Examples include Nonaqueous Electrochemistry from 1999 edited by Aurbach,355 Advances in Lithium-Ion Batteries from 2002 edited by van Schalkwijk and Scrosati,356 and Lithium-Ion Batteries Solid-Electrolyte Interphase from 2004 edited by Balbuena and Wang.281...

Solid electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries are expected to offer several advantages over traditional, nonaqueous liquid electrolytes. A solid electrolyte would give a longer shelf life, along with an enhancement in specific energy density. A solid electrolyte may also eliminate the need for a distinct separator material, such as the polypropylene or polyethylene microporous separators commonly used in contemporary liquid electrolyte-based batteries. Solid electrolytes are also desirable over liquid electrolytes in certain specialty applications where bulk lithium-ion batteries as weU as thin-film lithium-ion batteries are needed for primary and backup power supplies for systems, devices, and individual integrated circuit chips.
