Melting, coating, and all-solid-state lithium batteries

(Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology(UNIST)) The joint research team of Prof. Yoon Seok Jung and Prof. Seng M. Oh discovered a new way to develop all-solid-state lithium batteries without a risk of conflagration or explosion. It is the method of melting the solid electrolyte and coating that melted electrolyte around the electrodes. This research outcome was introduced on Advanced Materials on Dec. 22, 2015.
