Are solid-state batteries really "the next big thing"? Where can the solid-state battery convince? And in which areas are there weaknesses? This article provides an overview.

Solid-state batteries are being touted as the energy storage devices of tomorrow and are expected to find widespread use in a few years - from electric cars to airplanes. This raises the question: How expensive will these batteries actually be? A search for answers.

Solid-state companies have been in the public eye for years and report in detail on their current state of development. However, it is difficult to evaluate new concepts without an overview of the overall market. In a data analysis, all publicly available information on the solid-state industry was compiled and the data analyzed in detail. The 5 most important take-aways are presented here.

High range, short charging times - no range anxiety. This is how simple the dream of electromobility could look. At least as far as the higher energy density is concerned, there is a broad consensus in the battery community that this will indeed be achieved. But what about short charging times? The answer can be found in this article.

"Solid-state batteries are the next generation of batteries. It will solve the storage problems of today's technologies." This hope is very often associated with solid-state electrolyte batteries. But will the battery live up to the hopes? This article provides the answers.

Li-metal anodes make it possible to significantly increase the energy density of solid-state batteries. However, the use of this anode material is not straightforward. This article explains the opportunities offered by the Li anode and the challenges that still need to be solved before it is ready for series production.

A long service life of batteries in automotive use is important in order to generate environmental advantages compared to combustion technology. Li-ion batteries have not always been completely convincing in this. But what about solid-state batteries?

How can we succeed in transferring the production of solid-state batteries on a laboratory scale to mass production? Which processes are particularly well suited for series production and where is there still a need to catch up? This article provides an overview.

Solid state batteries differ from conventional Li-ion batteries in a number of ways. The internal structure depends on which variant is involved.

What electrolytes are there? What can they do? What are the advantages and disadvantages and which electrolyte has the greatest potential to dominate the market? This article provides the answers.
