Researchers have uncovered the atomic mechanisms that make a class of compounds called argyrodites attractive candidates for both solid-state battery electrolytes and thermoelectric energy converters. The discoveries and the machine learning approach used to make them could help usher in a new era of energy storage for applications such as household battery walls and fast-charging electric vehicles.
A study partly funded by Australia helps to unlock some of the secrets of solid state batteries, which are less prone to runaway chemical fires, and will deliver more power.
