Battery technology for electric cars is getting more advanced, with the most recent development from China being the ...

The breakthrough could be used to create a solid battery electrolyte or as an ion-conducting binder for use in the cathode of future all-solid-state batteries.

In the case of solid-state electrolyte materials, one seeks a solid framework that enables very high diffusivities of mobile ions (such as lithium or sodium), comparable to those of liquid ...

Improving Contact Impedance via Electrochemical Pulses Applied to Lithium–Solid Electrolyte Interface in Solid-State Batteries. ACS Energy Letters, 2021; 6 (10): 3669 DOI: 10.1021/acsenergylett ...

In recent years, materials research in the field of all-solid-state batteries has been focused on strategies to maximize material crystallinity to achieve ionic conductivity similar to that of ...

It takes just minutes to charge a solid-state battery. That might not sound ... But instead of using a flammable liquid (an electrolyte) to ferry those ions, SSBs rely on solid materials: ceramics, ...

The new technology uses a solid polymer material, weakly bonded to the lithium-ion, to replace the volatile liquid solvents typically used as electrolytes in current battery cells.

Solid-state battery company Quantumscape claims that its solid-state batteries — which use some liquid, but not for the electrolyte — have been tested and can charge even faster than typical ...

New sodium-ion electrolyte may find use in solid-state batteries Date: April 10, 2018 Source: Penn State Summary: A newly discovered structure of a sodium-based material allows the materials to be ...

The company also noted that solid-sate tech would produce a pack “about half the size of the current battery” and that it could “fully charge in 15 minutes instead of a few hours.” ...
