Speedy ion conduction in solid electrolytes clears road for advanced energy devices

Scientists have used state-of-the-art microscopy to identify a previously undetected feature, about 5 billionths of a meter (nanometers) wide, in a solid electrolyte. The work experimentally verifies the importance of that feature to fast ion transport, and corroborates the observations with theory. The new mechanism the researchers report points out a new strategy for the design of highly conductive solid electrolytes.
