From cellphones to electric vehicles to microgrids, the future is battery powered. The current go-to lithium-ion batteries, however, require hard-to-find, expensive materials, and their liquid electrolytes can make for a volatile product. Solid-state batteries are a safer option that can hold even more energy, but effectively harnessing their structure–performance relationship has remained a complex barrier to creating better batteries.
