In a recent study published in Solid State Ionics, Shirley Reis and colleagues at the SENAI Innovation Institute in Electrochemistry, Curitiba, Brazil, show how strong performance can be ...

Chen Liquan, the 'father of the Chinese lithium battery', shares his strategy to compete with the West to develop next-generation technology Solid-state batteries are expected to charge faster and ...

In addition to designing new types of functionalized RTIL molecules, we have also been making ionic polymers based on RTIL building blocks to make solid-state ionic materials with RTIL-like gas ...

Current iterations of solid-state electrolytes focus heavily on sulfides ... which proved to be the winning recipe for lower electronic – and higher ionic – conductivity.

Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points, so they are in the solid state at room temperature. See the study guide on the three states of matter ...
