Here, authors develop amorphous solid electrolytes (xLi₃N-TaCl₅) with high ionic conductivities and design all-solid-state batteries capable of operating at ‒60 °C for over 200 hours.
Now, Jue Liu, Yifei Mo, and Hailong Chen show how a family of electrolyte solids undergo a temperature-triggered transition from low to high conductivities due to collective anion motion.
Polymer electrolytes are important materials in the manufacture of all-solid-state batteries due to their ionic conductivity, achieved by doping the polymer with salt, and mechanical strength, ...
Life would be easier if batteries charged in seconds, stored more energy, lasted longer, and were overall safer to use. As such, highly efficient solid-state batteries are currently a hot topic in the ...
