Abstract
An all-solid-state metal-metal battery with both high energy density and high power density is provided. The battery has an anolyte including at least one active anode metal ion conducting ceramic solid and a catholyte including at least one active cathode metal ion conducting ceramic solid sandwiched between an anode including an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal as the active anode metal and an cathode including a transition metal as the active cathode metal. Prior to the initial charge, the battery may have an anode current collector devoid of the active anode metal or a cathode current collector devoid of the active cathode metal.
