All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are promising energy storage solutions that incorporate a lithium metal anode and solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), as opposed to the liquid ones found in conventional lithium batteries. While solid-state LMBs could exhibit significantly higher energy densities compared to lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), the solid electrolytes they contain are prone to dendrite growth, which reduces their stability and safety.
Researchers at Western University in Canada, University of Maryland in the United States and other institutes recently designed a new vacancy-rich, and superionic conducting β-Li3N…
