Bromide‐ion batteries can provide higher energy densities compared to conventional lithium‐ion batteries, but the high water solubility of bromide salts may require all‐solid‐state cells. Fortunately, the low Young's modulus of bromide salts is an advantage in terms of fabricating high‐performance all‐solid‐state cells. The present study provides the first‐ever demonstration of an all‐solid‐state bromide‐ion battery. In this work, a novel, single‐phase, K‐doped PbBr2 electrolyte was prepared by mechanical milling, and highly dense pellets were readily obtained from this material by uniaxial cold pressing, because of its low modulus. An initial discharge capacity equal to 87 % of the theoretical capacity was exhibited by an experimental battery when using a BiBr3 positive electrode. This concept of a bromide shuttle battery is expected to promote the research of next‐generation batteries incorporating new active materials and based on conversion‐type reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
