Description
Yuki Nomura and co-authors report a 2026 study on why solid-state batteries lose power. The weak point is the thin zone where the cathode meets the solid layer that carries ions. The team watched that zone live, while a cell charged, with a cold microscope method. Careful sample steps kept the zone in its true state.
At a bare contact, charging made a layer with far less lithium, about 50 units thick on a tiny scale. The solid near the contact lost its ordered form, and ions moved with more effort. That change helps explain rising resistance. A thin coat on the cathode blocked both harms. The work points to coat design as a fix.
