The patent landscape for solid-state batteries has been evolving since 2010, reflecting the global race to develop safer and more efficient energy storage solutions. Major corporations, particularly in the automotive and electronics sectors, have been actively filing patents to secure the Intellectual property of their innovations in this. . A solid-state battery (SSB) is an that uses a to between the, instead of the liquid or found in conventional batteries. Theoretically, solid-state batteries offer. . Candidate materials for (SSEs) include ceramics such as,, sulfides and .. . CostThin-film solid-state batteries are expensive to make and employ manufacturing processes thought to be difficult to scale, requiring expensive . BackgroundThe earliest thin-film solid-state batteries is found by Keiichi Kanehori in 1986, which is based on the Li electrolyte. The technology was insufficient to power. . OriginBetween 1831 and 1834, discovered the solid electrolytes and, which laid the foundation for . Solid-state batteries are potentially useful in,,, and .Electric vehicles . Improved energy densitySolid state batteries offer the potential for significantly higher compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. This is largely due to the.

Compared to inorganic redox flow batteries, such as vanadium and Zn-Br2 batteries, organic redox flow batteries' advantage is the tunable redox properties of their active components. As of 2021, organic RFB experienced low durability (i.e. calendar or cycle life, or both) and have not been demonstrated on a commercial scale. Organic redox flow batteries can be further classified into aqueous (AORFBs) and non-aqueous (NAO.
