A 2024 review by Sau, Orimo, and co-workers reveals universal design principles for fast ion conductors by organizing materials according to their structural frameworks rather than chemical ...

Using a combination of simulation and experimental techniques, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Material Science and Engineering researchers have been able to identify the electric double layer ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists have synthesized ...

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