Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

It has taken years of toiling away in their labs, but developers of lithium-ion batteries made with solid electrolytes—known as solid-state batteries or SSBs—are moving toward commercialization of the ...

They published their work on Feb. 2 in Energy Material Advances. "The development of thin sulfide solid electrolyte layers is imperative" said paper author Xiayin Yao, a professor at the Laboratory of ...

Lithium may be the key component in most modern batteries, but it doesn’t make up the bulk of the material used in them. Instead, much of the material is in the electrodes, where the lithium gets ...

MIT researchers have made a new discovery that could pave the way for solid-state lithium battery development. Solid-state lithium batteries could offer a lightweight, compact, and safe alternative to ...

Conventional lithium-ion batteries may have sown the seeds for our transition to electric mobility, but they have certain shortcomings. They’re flammable, their range is still limited, and they’re not ...
