Solid-state electrochemistry and energy storage

What is solid state electrochemistry?

One of the most active research areas in solid state electrochemistry concerns the development of ion-conducting materials for application in the conversion and storage of energy (e.g. high energy density batteries and fuel cells).

What is the Journal of solid state electrochemistry?

The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry, publishing novel papers on all aspects of electrochemical science and technology (E-chem S&T) of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied works.

Are solid-state electrochemical interfaces for energy storage atomistic?

One of the key open questions toward the atomistic understanding of solid-state electrochemical interfaces for energy storage is the nature of the physical descriptor for the charge-transfer activation energy, which is a fundamental interfacial process at redox-active electrochemical interfaces.

What are solid-state electrolytes (SSEs)?

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have emerged as high-priority materials for safe, energy-dense and reversible storage of electrochemical energy in batteries.

Can solid-state electrochemistry be applied to lithium storage materials?

Approaches to the study of solid-state electrochemistry in the application to the lithium storage materials have undergone substantial development from classical approaches since the processes in solid-state systems are markedly different from those in classical electrochemistry – processes at the metal/electrolyte interface.

How does a solid state battery work?

In solid-state batteries, the interface between solid-state electrolytes and electrode materials is where the electrochemical “action” happens—the ion redox and migration of species to, from, and across the interface resulting in reversible electrical-to-chemical energy conversion.
