Researchers at Beijing University of Technology have developed a thin free-standing composite solid electrolyte (CSE) film for solid-state lithium metal batteries. The film offers high ionic conductivity (2.76×10 -4 S/cm at 25 °C) and wide electrochemical stability window (4.8 V vs. Li + /Li). In an open-access paper published in the RSC journal Chemical Communications , the researchers report that CSE-based solid-state lithium metal batteries with LiCoO 2 cathode present good cycle stability an
