This is a critical requirement for achieving high volumetric energy density. Importantly, we further demonstrate that these densely packed electrodes retain excellent fast-charging capability. Thanks to Gyuwon Seo, Ahmed Elabd, Seung Hyun Jeong, Leonie Braks for their hard work!

Here, we developed mechanically adaptive interfaces enabling robust cycling stability and reliable operation under commercially relevant conditions (25°C, 0.8 MPa), even in an anode-less configuration (N/P = 0) in sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries,

This work shows the potential of composite interfaces containing elastic polymers such as polyrotaxanes to mitigate challenges in operating ASSBs at commercially relevant pressures. It is one of the main highlights of our #Sinergia project funded by @snsf_ch @unifrchemistry

A massive congratulations to @alcforster successfully defending his PhD! He’s done incredible work proving the potential of organic surface coatings to stabilize high-voltage interfaces and transfering this knowledge to films. It’s a major milestone for the solid-state batteries
