Abstract
A computer-implemented method for fabricating a solid state battery includes identifying locations in a solid-state battery where defects are likely to occur. A self-healing material profile is determined relative to solid-state battery component material to counter defect growth in the locations. The solid-state battery is printed in accordance with the self-healing material profile.

A computer-implemented method for fabricating a solid state battery, comprising:
- identifying locations in a solid-state battery where defects are likely to occur;
- determining a self-healing material profile relative to solid-state battery component material to counter defect growth in the locations;
- and
- printing the solid-state battery in accordance with the self-healing material profile.
A system for fabricating a solid state battery, comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- and
- a memory that stores a computer program which, when executed by the hardware processor, causes the hardware processor to:
- identify locations in a solid-state battery where defects are likely to occur;
- determine a self-healing material profile relative to solid-state battery component material to counter defect growth in the locations;
- and
- print the solid-state battery in accordance with the self-healing material profile.
A solid-state battery, comprising:
- an anode;
- a cathode;
- and
- a solid-state electrolyte disposed between the anode and the cathode, the solid-state electrolyte including self-healing material to repair defects therein.
