Though finding the best ionic liquid remains challenging ... a prototype battery made with their quasi-solid-state cathode and a solid “garnet” electrolyte (referring to its structure), which showed ...

Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because their ions are unable to move about. However, if an ionic compound is melted or dissolved, its ions become free to move about ...

"We introduced the concept of using secondary structure -- the helix -- to design and improve upon the basic material property of ionic conductivity in solid materials," says Professor Chris Evans ...

BORDENTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It is generally assumed that solid polymer electrolytes have poor ionic conductivity at room temperature. Nuvvon has turned this notion on its head. Third-party ...
