“…4 Typical SSB batteries are formed by planar layers consisting of cathode, electrolyte, anode and current collectors. Recently, SSBs have been reported to be composed of thin film materials such as (1) Cathodes: Li 2 CoO 3 (LCO), 5 Li(Ni x Mn y Co z )O 2 (NMC), 6 LiNi 0.5 -Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO), 7 and LiFePO 4 (LFP); 8 (2) electrolytes: Li 3Àx-PO 4Ày N 2 (LiPON), 9 Li x La 2/3+y TiO 3Àd (LLTO), 10 Li 1.3 Al 0.3-Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP), 11 and Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO); 12,13 (3) anodes: Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO), 14 silicon, 15 and lithium metal. 16,17 The challenges are to find a way to meet the demanding power budgets while achieving the desired battery size, lifetime, charging time and cost.…”
