The demand for rechargeable Li batteries having more safety and higher energy density has been increased to meet the strong demand of novel applications such as electric vehicles and energy storage system. In this aspect, Li ion batteries containing typical liquid electrolytes have fundamental limitations because liquid electrolytes can act as fuels in thermal runaway behavior leading to a fire or an explosion of battery and can be decomposed at high potential (> 4.5V) leading to the restricted use of high potential cathodes. To address these problems, there are several approaches. One of promising approaches is to apply proper oxide-based solid electrolytes (SEs) instead of liquid electrolytes because they can enable to deliver superior safety with Li metal and to achieve high energy density simultaneously.
In this talk, I will discuss about the progress of the development of the oxide-based SEs, especially, focusing on the newly developed garnet-type SE that has superior electrochemical/chemical properties with respect to the wettability with Li metal, ionic conductivity, and chemical stability with air, and the revisited Lisicon-type SE that has superior compatibility of most of active materials. Also, I will talk about the efforts in our group to build up all solid-state battery by using the developed oxide-based SEs.
