Solid-state batteries (SSBs) revolutionize energy storage by replacing flammable liquid electrolytes with safe solid materials, enabling lithium ions to move efficiently during charge and discharge for compact, high-density designs. Boasting thermal resilience, non-combustible properties, and superior energy storage, they offer lighter weight, rapid charging, and design flexibility. Driven by sulphide, polymer, and oxide electrolytes each balancing conductivity, stability, and cost SSBs target a $9 billion market by 2035, powering automobiles, satellites, electronics, chemicals, and industrial storage.
