11.1 Background
Liquid electrolytes are commonly used in lithium or lithium-ion batteries at room
temperature with the ionic conductivity from 10 −3 to 10 −2 S/cm [1, 2].
It would be useful if the batteries could work at higher temperatures, since
it will be no need to use a separate cooling circuit at the system level, or such
need will be significantly reduced. However, high temperatures create difficulties
because of quick degradation of liquid electrolytes [3]. In addition, there are two
main problems that hinder the development of liquid electrolytes. First, formation
of the lithium dendrites on electrodes leads to serious danger due to the potential
possibility of internal short circuits. Second, the electrochemical instability of the
lithium electrodes causes an insignificant life cycle of batteries during repeated
processes of charging/discharging [4].
In addition, the first generation of batteries prototypes, which used liquid
electrolytes, has a high risk of leaks affecting on the reliability of a device [1]. Safety
is one of the most pressing issues related to the further progress in development
of the next-generation batteries. That makes solid electrolytes one of the most
