Researchers develop optimal silicon disulfide production technology for solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

The team’s findings from the silicon disulfide study were published as the cover article (open access) in the recent edition of the RSC Journal of Materials Chemistry A. ASSBs replace the liquid-state electrolytes that transfer ions between the anode and cathode with a solid less prone to fire or explosion.
