All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) have recently garnered considerable attention as a next-generation energy storage system beyond current state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A key component enabling the ASSLBs is solid-state electrolytes. Previous studies on solid-state electrolytes have mostly focused on inorganic-based ionic conductors. As a promising alternative to the inorganic solid electrolytes, an interest in gel electrolytes has reemerged. This talk briefly overviews opportunities and challenges of gel electrolytes for use in energy storage systems. Based on this understanding, we introduce some noteworthy research achievements of gel electrolytes, with a focus on printable gel electrolytes and their application to ASSLBs. We believe that the printable gel electrolytes described herein hold promise as an effective and scalable platform technology to move ASSLBs closer to commercialization. |
