In recent years, batteries have been ubiquitous in consumers ‘daily lives.
However, current commercial battery technologies using liquid electrolytes and carbonaceous anodes have some shortcomings, such as safety issues, limited service life and insufficient power density, especially at high temperatures.
However, there is a growing need for batteries that can operate under extreme conditions, such as the high temperatures required in various industrial areas, including medical device disinfection, underground exploration and thermal reactors.
This has prompted researchers to continuously search for solid electrolytes that are both safe and compatible with lithium metal anodes, which are known for their high theoretical specific power capacity.
