| Abstract Scope |
Fast ion conducting glasses have long been considered as alternatives to flammable liquid electrolytes in Li batteries. However, to date, there has never been before the unique combination of required electrochemical properties in any one such glass for its use as a solid electrolyte with the equally important requirements of viscoelastic behavior and strong resistance to crystallization to form them into thin films suitable for high ion conductivity separators. In this first ever report of thin film fast ion conducting glasses, we will summarize our efforts to produce thin films of Li ion conducting glasses and test in them in symmetric, asymmetric, and full cells. |
