Solid-state batteries promise higher energy density and safety compared to lithium-ion batteries with a liquid electrolyte.
Obstacles for commercialization include high stack pressures and insufficient power density, related to limitations of charge transport within the composite cathode.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy can be used to investigate composite cathode microstructures and identify kinetic bottlenecks.
The cathode microstructure plays a crucial role in solid-state battery performance, and optimization strategies can be developed based on its characterization.
