Low-temperature paddlewheel effect in glassy solid electrolytes

Low-temperature paddlewheel effect in glassy solid electrolytes

Glasses are promising electrolytes for solid-state lithium batteries; however, due to their amorphous structure, the ionic conduction mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, atomic-scale modeling reveals that lithium migration occurs via concerted hopping of Li-ions coupled to quasi-permanent rot...
