SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GARNET-TYPE SOLID ELECTROLYTES FOR APPLICATION IN ALL-SOLID STATE BATTERIES

Abstract

Incumbent commercial rechargeable lithium ion batteries use flammable liquid electrolytes, which, due to their low chemical stability are unsafe, toxic, and environmentally unfriendly. All solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with solid electrolytes have been looked upon as a replacement in this regard due to their high safety, excellent electrochemical cycling property and long-term stability. Hence, recently, solid electrolytes have been extensively researched as alternative electrolytes to overcome the disadvantages of liquid electrolytes. In this report we discuss about solid state electrolyte technologies, progress, our research methodology along with a justifying rationale and we go over our experiments, analysis and the current trends of research, speculation of future trends based on current challenges in the field of ASSLBs with solid garnet based electrolyte.
