Challenge-driven printing strategies toward high-performance solid-state lithium batteries

Abstract

Solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) are promising candidates for replacing traditional liquid-based Li-ion batteries and revolutionizing battery systems for electric vehicles and portable devices. However, longstanding issues such as form factors, interfacial contact resistance, balance between ion conductivity and mechanical strength, and manufacturing processability limit their applications. In this review we present how advanced printing technologies can help to mitigate typical problems in main components of SSLBs and improve device performance. We first introduce the common printing techniques for energy storage devices, then focus on the issues and corresponding printing strategies for anodes, cathodes, and solid-state electrolytes to guide the construction of energy-dense, free-form SSLBs. The features and effects of the printed structures are emphasized, as well. We conclude by discussing the problems associated with printing technologies and the potential research directions for printed solid-state batteries.
