Stanford team identifies root cause of lithium intrusion into solid electrolytes

Green Car Congress

During fast charging, Chueh and team say, these inherent fractures open, allowing lithium to intrude. The researchers demonstrated through more than 60 experiments that ceramic electrolytes are often imbued with nanoscopic cracks, dents, and fissures, many less than 20 nanometers wide. (A A sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick.)
