  • Electrode/Electrolyte interfacial engineering of nanostructured ZnO/Li6.4Ga0.2La3Zr1.5Ta0.4O12 to improve electrochemical behavior of solid electrolyte for solid-state lithium batteries (2026) · Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry · doi

    One of the most critical challenges regarding solid-state batteries is electrode/electrolyte interfacial impedance. Inorganic electrolytes suffer from high electrode/electrolyte interfacial impedance due to their rigidity and relatively rough morphology.
