The next phase of the research is to improve the performance of the batteries and to assemble them alongside other Sandia technologies.“This sort of characterization is not trivial because the interfaces that we are interested in are only a few atomic layers China AA/AM3 battery Manufacturers thick,” Gittleson said.

　　Liquid electrolytes are typically reactive, volatile and highly flammable and are a leading cause of commercial battery failure. “Even though we are happy with our battery performance, we can always try to improve it more.Building batteries in this way allowed the researchers to get a precise view of what that interface looks like because the materials can be assembled so controllably.”The research was published in a Nano Letters paper titled, Non-Faradaic Li+ Migration and Chemical Coordination across Solid-State Battery Interfaces.

　　“In this project, all of the materials are solid; we don’t have a liquid-solid interface like in traditional lithium-ion batteries.”This article has been republished frommaterialsprovided bySandia National Laboratories.
