Key Highlights
•
A novel amorphous aluminum-based electrolyte, created by co-doping lithium aluminum chloride with zirconium/hafnium and oxygen, dramatically speeds up lithium ion movement and stabilizes battery interfaces. This breakthrough paves the way for cheaper, longer-lasting all-solid-state lithium batteries that can charge quickly and safely.

New research reveals that instability in high-performance perovskite solar cells under reverse bias is caused by the chemical breakdown of formamidinium at gaps in a critical thin layer on the electrode. Understanding this fundamental failure mechanism is essential for designing more durable and reliable next-generation solar panels.
