Exploring defects in a solid-state electrolyte

Scientists in the U.S. used sophisticated imaging techniques to observe previously unknown defects in the crystalline structure of a solid-state electrolyte. The scientists theorize that these defects could play an important role in the electrolyte's performance, and that designing them more carefully into the material could have impressive results.Though solid-state batteries have caught the attention of the energy storage industry, their commercial application has so far been very limited, and there is a wealth of different potential materials to replace the liquid electrolytes used in today's ...
