For applications requiring safe, energy-dense, lightwt. batteries, solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries are an ideal choice that could surpass conventional lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, there are challenges specific to practical solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries, beyond the typical challenges inherent to solid-state batteries in general.
All-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) offer higher energy density, making them ideal for long-range EVs and aviation. However, the practical application of ASSLSBs still faces many challenges. The first issue is the processing technology.
All-solid-state Li–S batteries (ASSLSBs) have emerged as promising next-generation batteries with high energy densities and improved safeties. These energy storage devices offer significant potential in addressing numerous limitations associated with current Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and traditional Li–S batteries (LSBs).

In particular, all-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) that rely on lithium–sulfur reversible redox processes exhibit immense potential as an energy storage system, surpassing conventional lithium-ion batteries.
An all solid-state Li-S battery was fabricated using a Li 3 PS 4 solid electrolyte. The passage discusses the achievement of most of the theoretical capacity of sulfur in the initial discharge-charge cycles with a high coulombic efficiency approaching 99% in this battery.
