Using a combination of simulation and experimental techniques, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Material Science and Engineering researchers have been able to identify the electric double layer ...

The more unusual aspects of ion transport and the electronic structure of solids were discussed at DD7. The focus was on the fundamental solid state chemistry associated with these properties ...

Ionic bonds are very strong so the melting point of an ionic compound is high. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because their ions are unable to move about. However, if an ...

All-solid-state batteries promise safer, more powerful energy storage for electric vehicles, electronics, and the ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new quasi-solid-state cathode for solid-state lithium metal batteries, with significantly reduced interfacial resistance ...

Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades for use in energy storage systems and in the pursuit of solid-state batteries. These materials are safer alternatives to the traditional liquid ...
