A solid electrolyte that only forms once its liquid precursors are in intimate contact with electrode material is mooted as a step towards all-solid lithium batteries by Cornell University. Intimate contact – inherent with liquid electrolytes – is needed to achieve high lithium ion throughput and low series resistance. “The key insight is the introduction ...
