Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have emerged as high-priority materials for safe, energy-dense and reversible storage of electrochemical energy in batteries. In this Review, we assess recent progress in the design, synthesis and analysis of SSEs, and identify key failure modes, performance limitations and design concepts for creating SSEs to meet requirements for practical applications. We provide an overview of the development and characteristics of SSEs, followed by analysis of ion transport in the bulk and at interfaces based on different single-valent (Li+, Na+, K+) and multivalent (Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Al3+) cation carriers of contemporary interest. We analyse the progress in overcoming issues associated with the poor ionic conductivity and high interfacial resistance of inorganic SSEs and the poor oxidative stability and cation transference numbers of polymer SSEs. Perspectives are provided on the design requirements for future generations of SSEs, with a focus on the chemical, geometric, mechanical, electrochemical and interfacial transport features required to accelerate progress towards practical solid-state batteries in which metals are paired with energetic cathode chemistries, including Ni-rich and Li-rich intercalating materials, sustainable organic materials, S8, O2 and CO2. Solid-state batteries based on electrolytes with low or zero vapour pressure provide a promising path towards safe, energy-dense storage of electrical energy. In this Review, we consider the requirements and design rules for solid-state electrolytes based on inorganics, organic polymers and organic–inorganic hybrids.

Progress in electrolytes for rechargeable Li-based batteries and beyond

In this work we uncover a novel effect between concentration dependent ion pair formation and anion stability at reducing potentials, e.g., at the metal anode. Through comprehensive calculations using both first-principles as well as well-benchmarked classical molecular dynamics over a matrix of electrolytes, covering solvents and salt anions with a broad range in chemistry, we elucidate systematic correlations between molecular level interactions and composite electrolyte properties, such as electrochemical stability, solvation structure, and dynamics. We find that Mg electrolytes are highly prone to ion pair formation, even at modest concentrations, for a wide range of solvents with different dielectric constants, which have implications for dynamics as well as charge transfer. Specifically, we observe that, at Mg metal potentials, the ion pair undergoes partial reduction at the Mg cation center (Mg2+ → Mg+), which competes with the charge transfer mechanism and can activate the anion to render it susce...
