Solid electrolyte materials for all-solid-state batteries

The current energy crisis underscores the pressing need to establish robust energy systems based on renewable energy sources. To fully unlock their potential, significant advancements in the collection, conversion, and storage of energy are imperative. Specifically, renewable energies like solar and wind power are critically dependent on storage devices due to their intermittent nature.

In this lecture, Raquel Lizárraga will focus on Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and recent developments in the field. Additionally, she will discuss the so-called beyond Li-ion technology and the challenges related to sustainable materials, enhanced performance, and competitive pricing. These innovations are vital for creating the next generation of batteries capable of powering electric vehicles and supporting the electrical grid.

Specifically, Raquel Lizárraga will analyze the potential of all-solid-state batteries to address the challenges posed by the current energy crisis and climate change.
