Researchers at Penn State University have developed a new manufacturing method called cold sintering, aimed at creating solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for electric vehicle batteries. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries which utilize liquid electrolytes—an element that introduces safety concerns due to instability—solid-state batteries employ SSEs that offer enhanced stability and safety. However, the manufacturing of ceramic-based SSEs […]
