Tokyo Tech team develops low-cost germanium-free solid electrolyte for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Sulfide-based lithium-ion conductors have the advantages of high conductivities together with suitable electrochemical windows and mechanical properties; thus, they are intensively studied as promising SEs. The all-solid-state battery, LiCoO 2 /LGPS/In−Li, showed excellent charge−discharge characteristics using the LGPS electrolyte.
