Solid-state electrolyte battery including plastic crystal electrolyte interlayer

Abstract

Solid-state electrolyte battery and method for making same. In one embodiment, the solid-state electrolyte battery may include an anode, a cathode, and a solid-state electrolyte membrane, wherein the solid-state electrolyte membrane may be positioned between the anode and the cathode. The solid-state electrolyte membrane may be in the form of a layer having opposing surfaces. The solid-state electrolyte battery may further include a first plastic crystal electrolyte layer and a second plastic crystal electrolyte layer, wherein the first and second plastic crystal electrolyte layers may be similar to one another in structure and composition. At least a portion of the first plastic crystal electrolyte layer may be positioned between the anode and the first opposing surface of the solid-state electrolyte membrane. At least a portion of the second plastic crystal electrolyte layer may be positioned between the cathode and the second opposing surface of the solid-state electrolyte membrane.
