LLZO-based solid-state batteries show limited energy density gains and face production challenges; hybrid electrolytes may be ...

In their study, Reis' team examined the possibility of blending ceramic and polymer electrolytes into 'composite' electrolytes, which combine the unique advantages of both materials. The composite ...

A team of chemists led by Feng Lin and Louis Madsen found a way to see into battery interfaces, which are tight, tricky spots ...

It's (going to be) electric.But how soon? How quickly our society can maximize the benefit of electrification hinges on finding cheaper, higher ...

A new X-ray imaging technique can help researchers to peer inside batteries and study what happens at their interfaces during ...

A new study suggests that solid-state lithium metal batteries may not provide the big energy boost many have hoped for. Researchers found that using lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO) as a solid ...

First, Alexei Sokolov, ORNL/UT Governor’s Chair and Professor of Chemistry and Physics at the University of Tennessee, will introduce you to this exciting time of progress in the field of polymer ...

A recent study evaluating garnet-type solid electrolytes for lithium metal batteries finds that their expected energy density advantages may be overstated. The researchers posited that composite or ...

One promising strategy involves LLZO-in-polymer composite electrolytes, which retain high ionic conductivity while improving flexibility and manufacturability. Another approach is quasi-solid ...
