Up until now, the flammable electrolyte used in Li-ion batteries has caused some of them to stop working and catch fire when their temperature rises too high. The reason for this is that ...

High-concentration electrolytes (HCE) significantly reduce the number of free solvent molecules, thereby promoting the formation of more contact ion pairs (CIPs) and aggregated clusters (AGGs).

Therefore, there’s a need for non-sulphide solid electrolytes that are both conductive and stable in air to make safe, high-performance, and fast-charging solid-state Li-ion batteries.

The polymeric solid electrolyte realized a wide potential window (4.7 V), a high Li-ion conductivity in the 10 -4 S/cm class, which is equivalent to a liquid and sufficient for practical use, and ...

This electrolyte, presented in a paper in Nature Energy, has a unique nanometer-scale solvation structure, with pairs of ions densely packed together into compact ion-pair aggregates (CIPA).
