Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries: Neutrons unveil sluggish charge transport

Solid-state Lithium-Sulfur batteries offer the potential for much higher energy densities and increased safety, compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, the performance of solid-state batteries is currently lacking, with slow charging and discharging being one of the primary causes. Now, a new study shows that sluggish lithium ion transport within a composite cathode is the cause of this slow charging and discharging.
