superionic

Solid electrolytes with high lithium-ion conductivity can be designed for millimeter-thick battery electrodes by increasing the complexity of their composite superionic crystals, report researchers from Tokyo Tech. This new design rule…

As we move towards a more energy-efficient society, the need for high-capacity, cost-effective batteries is greater than ever. Magnesium is a promising material for such solid-state batteries owing to its abundance, but its practical…

Superionic conductors promise clean, renewable energy -- at the right temperatures. These conductors, used as solid electrolytes in batteries and fuel cells, comprise solid materials in which ions move as fast as in liquids. One such…

Not all ice is the same. The solid form of water comes in more than a dozen different -- sometimes more, sometimes less crystalline -- structures, depending on the conditions of pressure and temperature in the environment. Superionic ice is…
