Advance in understanding of all-solid-state batteries
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

All-solid-state batteries, a battery design composed of all solid components, have gained attention as the next major advance beyond lithium ion batteries because of their potential to store more energy while being safer to operate. When capable of being produced in commercial quantities, solid-state batteries would revolutionize electric vehicles (EVs) effectively increasing drivable range or significantly decreasing volume and weight.
