Sustainable solid-state electrolytes (SSEs)

Abstract

Sustainable solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are becoming more widely acknowledged as an essential part of the development of next-generation energy storage systems, especially for integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicle applications. SSEs provide improved performance, stability, and safety over traditional liquid electrolytes. But as the demand for green technologies increases, there is rising concern about the sustainability of these materials, both economically and environmentally. This paper examines the state of sustainable SSEs today, with a focus on the utilization of plentiful, recyclable, and ecologically friendly materials in polymer, ceramic, and composite electrolytes. It talks about trade-offs between material sustainability and electrochemical efficiency, as well as the difficulties in scaling these technologies while keeping high performance. Furthermore, the analysis highlights significant developments and trends that will probably influence the direction of sustainable SSEs in the future.
