🌍✨ Argonne National Lab finds magnesium oxide coating stabilizes sulfide solid-state electrolytes
Why we’re watching: The performance of a class of next-generation solid-state batteries may depend on a coating just a nanometer thick, roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory combined computation and experiment to identify protective coatings for sulfide-based solid electrolytes, and pointed to magnesium oxide in particular. 💚
Solid-state batteries could store more energy and improve safety compared with today’s lithium-ion cells, but some solid electrolytes are chemically fragile.
