1. A solid-state battery comprising:
an anode;
a cathode; and
a solid electrolyte between the anode and cathode, the anode or cathode including bonded active material particles having thereon a mixed ionic and electronic conducting conformal interface layer (i) resulting from reaction of the active material particles with a layer of metal oxide, metal phosphate, metal silicate, or metal sulfide during bonding and (ii) configured to provide a transport path for ions and electrons during operation of the solid-state battery, and lacking solid electrolyte particles.
