All solid-state thin-film batteries (ASSTFBs) are the most intriguing next-generation energy storage devices which exhibit improved energy density and safety features. Owing to the merits of the ASSTFBs, it has been reported for a wide range of microelectronics and automobile applications. In recent times, a significant acceleration in the development of ASSTFBs has been witnessed through the discoveries of new materials and their novel nanostructures. Though the ASSTFBs have shown their potential as the next major technology beyond lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, their performances have not yet reached real-time application due to the restrictions in the intrinsic material properties. In addition, the low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes, interfacial instability, and difficulty in controlling thin-film growth remains a major roadblock. This indicates a large room for development in ASSTFB technologies. A basic understanding and tuning of the physiochemical properties of electrode and solid electrolyte material can significantly enhance the performance of the ASSTFBs.
This Research Topic focuses on all aspects of All solid-state thin-film batteries for energy storage, in specific the novel energy storage technologies with systems integration, modeling, analysis, sizing, and management strategies systems and energy storage developments. The major goal of this issue is to encourage the global research community to display their critical developments in the field of energy storage via all-solid- state thin film batteries and their application especially in the microelectronics and automobile sectors. We anticipate attracting a significant readership and kindling the basic interest in the next- generation energy storage devices.
The collection will cover the major topics contributing to the understanding of novel materials and their nanostructures design for next-generation all-solid-state thin film batteries (ASSTFBs). The topic is concerned with scientific research towards the high energy density ASSTFBs for applications such as those in microelectronics and automobiles. We seek contributions on, but not limited to, the below themes:
• Surface science of electrode materials
• Electrode-electrolyte interface
• Deposition and growth of thin film electrodes and electrolytes
• Assembly of ASSTFBs
• Electrochemical studies of anode and cathode materials.
• Stability analysis of batteries
• Surface engineering and functionalization of the electrode
• Surface science applied to energy storage
• Testing and test/evaluation procedures with analysis and life cycle costs, life cycle assessment, and safety of energy storage systems.
