US researchers crack solid-state battery puzzle for powerful EVs with longer ranges
Using 4D STEM, researchers at Mizzou have pinpointed the cause of performance issues in solid-state batteries.
“When the solid electrolyte touches the cathode, it reacts and forms an interphase layer that’s about 100 nanometers thick — 1,000 times smaller than the width of a single human hair,” explained Assistant Professor Matthias Young, who led the research team. Now, by addressing the fundamental challenges associated with solid-state batteries, the Mizzou research team aims to create safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting energy storage solutions. “This carefully engineered approach at the nanoscale level will help ensure these materials work together seamlessly — making solid-state batteries one step closer to reality,” concluded the team in a press release.
