We present the design and development of an all-solid-state (fluid/refrigerant-free) 100 W scale blue-laser system and show its applications in precision copper works. We combine powerful laser-diode arrays with Peltier chips on a compact laser head to achieve stable thermal and optical performance. Good agreement between the thermal simulation of the 3D laser head and experiments validates stable thermal performance. The laser system emits 40-100 W continuous wave at λ = 452.2 ± 2.5 nm with 98% power stability and ∼24% wall-plug efficiency inside a portable enclosure. This is the first, to the best of our knowledge, all-solid-state air-cooled laser with a 100 W class output. We achieved kW/cm intensity level on an mm-size focus with this source and demonstrated cutting, bending, and soldering copper on a battery pack. Furthermore, the copper-solder joints have nanoscale adhesion without cracks. Additionally, we unveil that 0.5-4 kW/cm intensity laser annealing scan makes copper strips mechanically resilient to withstand extreme loading cycles without nanoscale cracks.

Since the electrochemical potential of lithium metal was systematically elaborated and measured in the early 19th century, lithium-ion batteries with liquid organic electrolyte have been a key energy storage device and successfully commercialized at the end of the 20th century. Although lithium-ion battery technology has progressed enormously in recent years, it still suffers from two core issues, intrinsic safety hazard and low energy density. Within approaches to address the core challenges, the development of all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLBs) based on halide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) has displayed potential for application in stationary energy storage devices and may eventually become an essential component of a future smart grid.

In traditional operations of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs), a small thin lithium metal circular disk is employed as a lithium metal anode (LMA). However, ASSLMBs with a circular-disk LMA often fail in <150 cycles with low capacity retention. In this work, we developed a new ring-shaped LMA to improve cyclability.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSBs) are among the most promising energy storage technologies, particularly for electric vehicles, due to their enhanced safety. However, performances of these systems are still hindered by interfacial side reactions at electrode/electrolyte interfaces, especially when sulfide electrolytes are used, and additional issues of mechanical nature. In this work, an ASSB system composed of an argyrodite (LiPSCl) electrolyte, a lithium-rich sulfide cathode (LiTiS) operating at moderate voltage, and a lithium metal anode is investigated.

Microstructure optimization and high-performance material development are crucial for improving the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Researchers frequently record numerous micro-scale or nano-scale electron micrographs for unbiased post-mortem analysis, performance evaluation, and improvement of ASSBs. However, these micrographs are often underutilized and typically analyzed qualitatively without ensuring an accurate representation of the experimental objectives.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries are regarded as next-generation devices for energy storage due to their safety and high energy density. The issues of lithium dendrites and poor mechanical compatibility with electrodes present the need for developing solid-state electrolytes with high stiffness and damping, but it is a contradictory relationship. Here, inspired by the superstructure of tooth enamel, we develop a composite solid-state electrolyte composed of amorphous ceramic nanotube arrays intertwined with solid polymer electrolytes.
