UCI and UCSD Scientists Unravel an Atomic-scale Origin of the Low Grain-boundary Resistance in Perovskite Solid Electrolyte Lithium-ion batteries are considered promising energy storage solutions as they have already penetrated our daily life, but there still lies the safety concern especially with flammable liquid electrolyte. Despite high anticipation towards all-solid-state battery (ASSB) that uses chemically…Continue Reading Atomic-scale Origin of the Low Grain-boundary Resistance in Perovskite Solid Electrolyte
