Sulfide-based All-Solid-State Batteries

Sulfide-based All-Solid-State Batteries: Core Challenges and Breakthroughs in Materials and Interfaces 1

The massive expansion of the EV market has pushed lithium-ion batteries beyond the 300 Wh/kg threshold, bringing costs down to nearly $100 per kWh. Despite this progress, conventional batteries with liquid electrolytes are hitting a plateau in terms of energy density and safety. All-solid-state batteries are now seen as the core technology for the next generation of EVs, offering higher energy density, better safety, and longer life. In particular, sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries are gaining immense traction because their solid electrolytes can match the high ionic conductivity of liquid systems, making them a top research priority globally. However, the practical application of sulfide-based ASSBs still faces multiple challenges. Technical bottlenecks spanning

Anode Symmetric Cells for Battery Capacity Loss Analysis: A Step-by-Step Guide 2026

Insights from “Lithium Battery Frontier” – 锂电前沿 Abstract: Anode symmetric cells were assembled using two identical electrodes, one in a lithium state and another one in a delithiated or pristine state. The charging-discharging regime of graphite symmetric cells were studied. And the electrochemical impedance spectrum of different state of charge(SOC)was also analyzed. A sloping curve from -1 V to 0.5 V was only observed during the first charging curve of the 100% SOC-Pristine graphite symmetric cell. The voltage platform was suggested to the formation of SEI layer in the pristine graphite surface. The impedance of symmetric cell in 0% SOC and 100% SOC reached the maximum. While the impedance achieved

This stage directly determines a battery’s cycle life, safety, and consistency. However, it typically requires 10 to 20 hours or even longer to complete, representing a major source of manufacturing costs and safety risks. Recently, a collaborative research team from the University of Texas at Austin, Purdue University, and General Motors (GM) achieved a breakthrough by directly observing the formation of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) under real battery operating conditions for the

Accelerating Anode-free Lithium Metal Battery R&D with Neware’s High-Precision Battery Testing Solutions High-Energy Density Anode-Free Lithium Metal Batteries (AFLMBs) via Cross-Coupled Interfacial Chemistry Digital Object Identifier (DOI): https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10402-0 Affiliation: Westlake University Nature    Published: 17 March 2026 Abstract Overview Anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs) eliminate the need for initial negative active materials during assembly, presenting a transformative pathway toward ultra-high energy density and cost-efficient energy storage. However, the inherent absence of lithium reservoirs and host frameworks imposes rigorous operational constraints, typically resulting in compromised cycle life. These longevity issues are fundamentally linked to inhomogeneous lithium plating/stripping, driven by the microscopic heterogeneity and mechanical brittleness of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI).
