Energy storage

Towards practical all-solid-state batteries

All-solid-state lithium batteries can offer high energy density and safety but suffer from high interfacial resistance owing to the formation of interfacial voids. Now, a self-adaptive interphase has been developed that maintains intimate contact between the lithium metal anode and solid electrolyte without external pressure.
