A research team has developed a new technique to image grain boundaries obstructing lithium-ion migration in solid-state batteries -- a promising type of next-generation battery. A NIMS research team ...
The basic principle of magneto-ionic gating involves the use of an ionic liquid or gel electrolyte that is placed between a gate electrode and the target material. When a gate voltage is applied, ions ...
SIMS imaging of lithium-ion migration within a solid electrolyte specimen. Grain boundaries resistant to ionic diffusion have created an uneven 6 Li distribution. Quantitative analysis found that ...
