Fast Li⊕ Conducting Ceramic Electrolytes

Abstract

The all‐solid, lithium rechargeable battery , which if available would find many applications, is one reason for carrying out research into Li⊕‐conducting solids. Fast Li⊕‐conducting ceramic electrolytes are reviewed with regard to their electrical properties and crystal structure. Both non‐oxide based ceramics and oxide materials are considered, and possibilities for further developments—e.g., the preparation of the electrolyte by thin film techniques—are pointed out.
