Abstract
The race for next-generation solid-state batteries is accelerating, driven by the demand for safer, higher-energy storage. Success requires crossing key milestones: high-voltage cathodes, high-energy-density anodes, and stable electrolytes capable of operating at elevated voltages, all while ensuring that these components are scalable and industry-ready. The HyLiST project demonstrates this winning formula, bridging lab-scale innovation to pilot-scale production and setting the stage for safe, high-performance, and commercially viable solid polymer batteries.
