Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a novel, flexible, solid-state, ion-conducting membrane based on a 3D ion-conducting ceramic nanofiber network. The all-solid ion-conducting membrane can be applied to flexible Li-ion batteries and other electrochemical energy storage systems, such as lithium–sulfur batteries.

(b) Capacity retention of sulfur–TiO 2 yolk–shell nanostructures cycled at 0.5 C, in comparison with bare sulfur and sulfur–TiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles. The authors say that, to the best of their knowledge, this is the first time that a lithium–sulfur battery with this level of performance has been described.
