Key Challenges and Strategies for Commercialization of All-Solid-State Batteries: Materials, Interface Engineering, and Manufacturing Processes

초록

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising next-generation batteries that can improve the safety and energy density limitations of conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This review article analyzes ASSB commercialization from the perspectives of solid electrolytes, interface engineering, manufacturing processes, and system integration. The results indicate that no single electrolyte satisfies all requirements for ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, mechanical deformability, moisture tolerance, cost, and processability. Halide-based electrolytes are particularly promising for high-voltage cathode composites because they can suppress interfacial degradation and reduce the need for protective coatings. Interface analysis further shows that contact loss, space-charge-layer (SCL) formation, side reactions, dendrite growth, and microcracking are strongly coupled degradation mechanisms. For scalable manufacturing, dry processing, sheet-type fabrication, low-temperature densification, and solution-based halide synthesis are identified as key strategies. Overall, ASSB commercialization requires an integrated framework linking materials design, interface stabilization, process scalability, pressure and thermal management, and solid-state-specific battery management systems (BMSs).
