However, the reliance on flammable liquid organic electrolytes in conventional LIBs introduces significant safety risks, including high vapor pressure and susceptibility to side reactions, gas evolution, and separator failure under stress or overheating. These limitations have spurred research into all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), which employ solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to enhance safety and energy density. SSEs, categorized into inorganic and organic types, offer distinct advantages: inorganic SSEs provide superior ionic conductivity and stability at high voltages but suffer from brittleness and mechanical incompatibility with electrode volume changes, while organic SSEs exhibit flexibility but require high operating temperatures and are less stable under high-voltage conditions. Recent advancements have explored polymer-inorganic hybrid SSEs to combine flexibility and conductivity, yet few studies have achieved purely inorganic SSEs with organic-like flexibility. This research focuses on developing a flexible inorganic SSE for ASSLIBs, exhibiting high ionic conductivity and a broad electrochemical stability window. Its electrochemical performance was assessed through a half-cell configuration, confirming its robustness and stability during extended charge-discharge cycling. This SSE not only addresses a key barrier in ASSLIB development but also provides a promising avenue for scalable commercialization of ASSLIB technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVISCO-ELASTIC FLEXIBLE SOLID-STATE INORGANIC ELECTROLYTE FOR LI-ION BATTERIES\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"VISCO-ELASTIC FLEXIBLE SOLID-STATE INORGANIC ELECTROLYTE FOR LI-ION BATTERIES"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2025-04-14 19:59:29","changed_gmt":"2025-04-14 20:00:00","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-04-22T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2025-04-22T13:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-04-22T13:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-04-22 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2025-04-22 17:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-04-22 17:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"4404 Conference Room MRDC and  Virtually via MS Teams","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
