Solid state batteries as the name suggest use a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte that is used in traditional Lithium-ion batteries.
Advantages compared to a traditional Lithium-ion battery (NMC)
- Faster charging (Higher C rate of charge)
- Safer because of the absence of liquid electrolyte, which tends to catch fire.
- Higher power density (Higher C rate of discharge)
- Higher overvoltage value
