Researchers from Japan, using material informatics (MI), have developed new high-performance solid electrolytes for rechargeable batteries, focusing on organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs). These materials offer high ionic conductivity and stability, which are crucial for advancing all-solid-state batteries. By combining machine learning with empirical data, they synthesized eight new compounds, one of which exhibited excellent ionic conductivity. This development enhances battery safety and energy density, potentially leading to lighter and more efficient devices, such as electric vehicles. The findings were published in ACS Applied Electronic Materials.
