63,000 solid-state battery materials to replace flammable electrolytes

AI technology could improve energy storage

Scientists at Cornell University in the US have identified almost 63,000 materials for fast-ion conductors, which are vital components of solid-state batteries. Researchers used AI framework called IonNet to search around 4,500 stable compounds, which led them to identify 87 potential fast-iron connectors. They then expanded to five million possible materials to predict how effectively lithium ions can move through solids using its chemical comp…

More Electrons, Fewer Interfaces: Halide Cathodes Raise All-Solid-State

Halide cathode materials, once sidelined because they dissolve in conventional liquid electrolytes, are emerging as potential game-changers for all-solid-state lithium batteries. A comprehensive review in National Science Review by Xiaofei Yang and Xianfeng Li of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Xueliang Sun of the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, describes how these compounds could help push rec…
