Battery electrolyte stays solid at room temperature yet conducts ions like a liquid

Battery electrolyte stays solid at room temperature yet conducts ions like a liquid A battery electrolyte that is solid at normal temperatures yet still conducts ions could make lithium batteries safer and longer lasting by replacing flammable liquids. This first demonstration of a molecular solid electrolyte derived from common carbonate solvents suggests a research direction distinct from conventional network solids.
