In the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLB), progress is made with solid-state electrolytes; however, challenges regarding compatibility and stability still exist with solid electrodes. These issues result in a low battery capacity and short cycle life, which limit the commercial application of ASSLBs. Here, this review summarizes the recent research progress on solid-state electrodes in ASSLBs including the solid–solid interface phenomena such as the interface between electrode materials and electrolytes. The mechanical stability problems in solid electrodes, including fracture, brittleness, and deformation of electrode materials, are also discussed, and corresponding methods to measure the solid electrode stress are provided. In addition, strategies for mitigating stress-related issues are examined. Finally, the fabrication process of solid electrodes is introduced and their future developments, including the exploration of new electrode materials and the design of more intelligent electrode structures, are proposed.
