Scientists discover a new stable and highly conductive Li-ion conductor which can operate in subzero temperatures.
Solid-state lithium-ion batteries with solid electrolytes are non-combustible. They also have higher energy density compared to those with liquid electrolytes. But they have their weaknesses.
According to Prof. Fujimoto, making all-solid-state lithium-ion secondary batteries has been a long-held dream of many battery researchers. This new stable and highly conductive lithium-ion conductor exhibits higher ionic conductivity than previous oxide-based solid electrolytes. Additionally, it has non-flammable nature and stability.It went through both structural and compositional analysis using various techniques. And the new Li1.25La0.58Nb2O6F was developed.
