This study systematically reviews the global SSB patent landscape using a cross-sectional bibliometric and thematic analysis to identify innovations addressing key technical challenges. The study classifies innovations into key problem and solution areas by meticulously examining 244 patents across multiple dimensions, including year, geographic distribution, inventor engagement, award latency, and technological focus.
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) offer significant improvements in safety, energy density, and cycle life over conventional lithium-ion batteries, with promising applications in electric vehicles and grid storage due to their non-flammable electrolytes and high-capacity lithium metal anodes.
