Solid-State Ionics

Solid State Ionics is the study of how ions move through solid materials. Similar to how electricity flows through wires, ions can move through certain solid substances, which is essential for technologies like batteries, fuel cells, and sensors. In these applications, solid electrolytes facilitate the transfer of ions, enabling energy storage and conversion without needing liquid components. This field is important for developing more efficient energy systems, contributing to advancements in renewable energy and electric vehicles, while also enhancing our understanding of material properties.
