Battery researchers are struggling to design viable all-solid batteries, which promise enhanced safety but are currently achievable only at a high cost and with complex cell designs. Now a study on a sulfide-based cathode material demonstrates that a radical redesign of the electrode using 100% active material may help address the issue.
