Water-Stable High Lithium-Ion Conducting Solid Electrolyte of Li1.4Al0.4Ge0.2Ti1.4(PO4)3–LiCl for Aqueous Lithium-Air Batteries

Aqueous lithium-air batteries are one of the most promising batteries for electric vehicles because of its high energy and power density. The battery system consists of a lithium anode and an aqueous solution catholyte, which are separated by a water-stable lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolyte,...
