MIT study finds lithium sulfide solid electrolyte more brittle than ideal for batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have probed the mechanical properties of Li2 S –P 2 S 5 —thought to be a promising amorphous lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolyte—to determine its mechanical performance when incorporated into batteries. Crystalline and amorphous sulfide electrolytes (e.g., in the case of silicon anodes). Resources.
