The transition from conventional liquid electrolyte Li-ion batteries towards solid-state systems requires a paradigm shift on how these batteries are fabricated and how the R&D process can be augmented in order to fulfil the ever-increasing demand for reliable and high-performance energy storage systems. This work briefly looks over the main aspects of printed electronics and its potential to accelerate the development of solid-state batteries. It emphasizes the main challenges related to the fabrication of solid-state batteries and how printed electronics can address them in a timely and affordable manner. Importantly, the proposed printed electronics methods and solutions highlight the ability for immediate upscaling to mass production as well as downscaling for rapid prototyping and custom designing.
