Solid-State Electrolyte: A solid-state electrolyte is a solid ionic conductor and electron-separating material that plays a crucial role in solid-state batteries. Unlike traditional liquid electrolytes, SSEs are used in next-generation batteries, offering improved safety and efficiency. These materials are particularly useful in electrical energy storage systems, replacing the liquid electrolytes typically found in lithium-ion batteries and enhancing performance in terms of energy density, stability, and durability.

Batteries: Essential Components and Materials A battery is a device made up of various materials that work together to store and release electrical energy. Common components include:
