A new design overcomes a key barrier to safer, more efficient EV batteries. A polymer-filled porous membrane allows lithium ions to move freely and eliminates the interfacial resistance between the solid electrolyte and the electrodes. Current lithium-ion batteries rely on liquid electrolytes, posing safety risks due to their flammability. All-solid-state batteries aim to replace liquid components with solid ones to improve safety and efficiency.
