The erotice massage videolithium-ion battery in your phone might look like a solid chunk of energy-producing plastic at first glance, but if you were to bust it open and take a closer look, you'd see there's also some liquid inside. That's because most lithium-ion batteries are composed of multiple parts: two solid electrodes, separated by a polymer membrane infused with a liquid or gel electrolyte.
Now, MIT researchers believe they have taken the first steps forward in the development of all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, according to new research published in Advanced Energy Materials. In non-nerd speak, that basically means batteries that could store more energy—meaning fewer trips to a power outlet.

Switching out the liquid electrolytes for solids could be a big move. The all-solid batteries would likely be able to store more energy, "pound for pound," at the battery pack level than current lithium-ion packs. They'd also be much less unstable, since dendrites, which are metallic projections that sometimes grow through liquid electrolyte layers, would be less likely to occur.
The research team looked to test the sulfide's fracture toughness, which is essential to the material's role in a lithium-ion battery. If it's too brittle and can't handle the stresses of continual power cycling, it could crack and open up space for those same dendrites to form.

In order to test the material, the team placed the sulfide in a bath of mineral oil to prevent it from reacting before being measured for its mechanical properties. This was the first experiment to test for lithium sulfide's fracture properties.
After the test, the researchers concluded that the material does indeed crack under high stress conditions, "like a brittle piece of glass."
That said, the knowledge gained could allow the team to build new battery systems by "calculat[ing] how much stress the material can tolerate before it fractures,” according to MIT associate professor Krystyn Van Vliet, who contributed to the research.
Co-author Frank McGrogan agrees. This exact form of the sulfide won't be the solid material that makes it into the form of lithium-ion batteries we use today. But since the team can study its properties and design new battery systems around that knowledge, someday it could still have potential for use.
“You have to design around that knowledge,” he said.
