Solid Electrolytes

  • Chapter
  • 8332 Accesses

The surprising discovery of electronically insulating solids in which there can be very rapid long-range motion of charged ionic species, such that they can act as solid electrolytes, really marked the beginning of the era of modern batteries. The subsequent development of solids with insertion reactions has received more attention in recent years, however, as discussed elsewhere in this text.

Nevertheless, it is important to give some attention to the topic of solid electrolytes, and the structural and mechanistic features that make them different from most other, more common, materials.
