Solid-state lithium-ion batteries designs have the potential to deliver three times the energy density of typical 2011 lithium-ion batteries at less than half the cost per kilowatt-hour. This approach eliminates binders, separators and liquid electrolytes. By eliminating these, "you can get around 95% of the theoretical energy density of the active materials." Solid-state designs do not overheat or catch fire like traditional lithium-ion batteries do. They are much safer because they do not use a liquid electrolyte. They are expected to have products ready for field testing as early as March 2015. Toyota is planning to use solid-state lithium-ion batteries as early as the 2020s. The batteries could give their cars a range of more than 300 miles on a single charge.
