Record-setting lithium-ion conductors: Researchers develop new material for solid-state batteries

World record for lithium-ion conductors

A team partially replaced lithium in a lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material. These gaps help the lithium ions to move more easily and faster, resulting in a new world record for ion conductivity.

Solid-state battery breakthrough boosts lithium ion speed by 30%

To achieve the record conductivity, the team created a novel material composed of lithium, antimony, and scandium.
