Sodium Solid-State Electrolyte and Electrode Interfaces

An ideal solid-state electrolyte requires a high ionic conductivity, low electronic conductivity, and matched electrochemical window with the electrode. Often, it needs to possess mechanical properties with rigidity to acts as a separator while having the ability to form intimate interface with the electrode to realize the all-solid-state batteries. In this talk, I will share our recent efforts in material development and architecture design to enable all-solid-state sodium batteries as a complimentary and safe energy storage system.
