Prospects of Sulfide-Based Solid-State Electrolytes Modified by Organic Thin Films

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries are key to tackling today's energy crisis. In recent years, compared with the research on other components of lithium-ion batteries, the research on solid-state electrolytes is particularly hot. Among various solid-state electrolyte modification measures, we found that the material design of organic/inorganic composite flexible solid-state electrolytes can achieve the best all-solid-state battery cycling performance. Based on the study of sulfide-based organic/inorganic composite solid-state electrolytes, this article firstly introduces the classification of inorganic solid electrolytes and the advantages and disadvantages of each type of materials. At the same time, the research progress of various oxide solid electrolyte materials and sulfide solid electrolyte materials in recent years is introduced as well as the advantages of organic/inorganic composite solid-state electrolyte materials. Then the influencing factors that affect the performance of solid-state electrolytes, such as material lattice, lattice defects, electrolyte interface problems, and electrolyte microcracks, are introduced. Finally, the superiority of the industrial electrochemical performance of the organic/inorganic composite solid electrolyte material and its future prospects are introduced.
