All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSBs) outperform lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in safety, energy density, and thermal stability. Their performance depends on high ionic conductivity, chemical/physical stability, and scalable manufacture of solid electrolytes (SEs). This study compares sulfide- and halide-based SEs, two promising next-generation energy ...
