Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Cornell University scientists’ new research advances the design of solid-state batteries, a technology that is inherently safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion batteries, which rely on flammable liquid electrolytes for fast transfer of chemical energy stored in molecular bonds to electricity. By starting with liquid electrolytes and then transforming them into solid polymers […]

Solid State Lithium Ion Battery Research Shows Progress

December 23, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Solid-state electrolytes designed for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are emerging as a safer alternative to their more prevalent and sometimes flammable liquid-electrolyte counterparts. The problem in research is they don’t currently have as much conductivity. A new study has revealed promising results that could drastically boost the performance of solid-state electrolytes, and could potentially lead to […]
