Commercialized liquid electrolyte-based batteries are developing various issues like explosions, limited energy density, and leakage. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with Li-ion-containing solid electrolytes (SEs) can be a solution to these shortcomings. However, assembling ASSBs is a challenge due to the high interfacial resistance between the electrodes and SEs. In the current Review, we addressed the rising concern over the interfacial deterioration leading to high charge-Transfer resistance. A comprehensive discussion on the addition of buffer layers between the SE and electrodes is presented to improve interfacial stability. From polymer layers containing Li-salts with and without supporting fillers to amorphous oxides and metal coating, the interlayers ameliorate the ionic transport. Mutual compression and cosintering of SEs and electrodes can make a compact interface. Finally, the influence of morphology at the contacting surfaces is discussed. © 2018 American Chemical Society.[SDGs]SDG7Charge transfer; Composite films; Deterioration; Electrodes; Ions; Solid electrolytes; Solid state devices; All-solid state batteries; Compact interfaces; Contacting surfaces; Electrochemical energy storage devices; Interfacial resistances; Interfacial stabilities; Ionic transports; Liquid electrolytes; Lithium-ion batteriesjournal article10.1021/acsenergylett.8b015642-s2.0-85055683235WOS:000450374600021https://doi.org/10.1021/acsenergylett.8b0156449702970
