Title: High-Performance Solid-State Lithium-Ion Battery with Mixed 2D and 3D Electrodes

Abstract

It is well established that the miniaturization of batteries has not kept pace with the miniaturization of electronics. Three-dimensional (3D) batteries, which were developed with the intent of improving microbattery performance, have had limited success because of fabrication challenges and material constraints. Solid-state, 3D batteries have been particularly susceptible to these shortcomings. In this paper, we demonstrate that the incorporation of a high-conductivity, solid electrolyte is the key to achieving a nonplanar solid-state battery with high areal capacity and high power density. The model 2.5D platform used in this study is a modification of the more typical 3D configuration in that it is comprised of a cathode array of pillars (3D) and a planar (two-dimensional, 2D) anode. This 2.5D geometry exploits the use of a high-conductivity, ionogel electrolyte (10–3 S cm–1), which interpenetrates the 3D electrode array. The 2.5D battery offers high areal energy densities from the post array, while the high-conductivity, solid electrolyte enables high power densities (3.7 mWh cm–2 at 2.8 mW cm–2). The reported solid-state 2.5D device exceeds the energy and power densities of any 3D solid-state system and the derived multiphysics model provides guidance for achieving significantly higher energy and power densities.
