Sandia National Laboratories’ new study tackled a long-held assumption that adding some liquid electrolyte to improve performance would make solid-state batteries unsafe. Instead, the research team found that in many cases solid-state batteries with a little liquid electrolyte were safer than their lithium-ion counterparts. They also found, if the battery were to short-circuit, releasing all […]

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 […]
