Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed a thin-film, highly conductive solid-state electrolyte made of a polymer and ceramic-based composite for lithium metal batteries. There are two classes of solid electrolytes, inorganic oxide- or sulfide-based electrolytes and polymer-based electrolytes. —Palmer et al.

Scientists at Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) have developed a new coordination polymer glass membrane for hydrogen fuel cells that works just as well as its liquid counterparts with added strength and flexibility. Adding zinc to this liquid led to the formation of a solid, elastic polymer glass.
