The future of solids batteries: improvement through innovative research

The development of solid batteries has the potential to revolutionize energy storage and at the same time increase safety. A new study, published in the journal ACS Energy Letters, shows that researchers were able to make progress in the analysis of electrochemical reactions in solid batteries. This new approach could help improve the lifespan and performance of solids.

The key lies in the analysis of interface reactions

A team of scientists from the HZB and the Justus Liebig University Gießen has developed an innovative approach to examine the electrochemical reactions on the interface between the fixed electrolyt and electrode more precisely. By analyzing samples of the Li6PS5CL fixed electrolyte, they were able to gain insights into the reaction dynamics and identify potential improvements for solid batteries. This investigation could help to significantly increase the efficiency of solid batteries.

New knowledge through hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

The researchers used the method of hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) on Besssy II to analyze the interface reactions in real time and under variable tensions. By analyzing the reactions, they found that the decomposition reactions are only partially reversible. These findings are crucial for the development of more efficient solid batteries and could also be of interest to other battery materials.

perspectives for battery research

The new findings from this study have already sparked the interest of research groups from all over the world. The innovative approach of analyzing electrochemical reactions to interfaces could continue to advance battery research and open up new opportunities for the development of powerful energy storage. Future studies will focus on applying the method to other battery materials and further increasing the efficiency of solids.
