News Summary

• Xiaona Li’s team aims to boost the conductivity of solid electrolytes.
• Nanomaterials are a promising option because their unusually high surface-area-to-volume ratio exposes more atoms at the surface, which enables faster, more efficient chemistry.
• Ananth Govind Rajan wants to find the most effective materials to use as catalysts for water filtration systems.
• The team at the Eastern Institute of Technology in Ningbo, China is now working to improve solid electrolyte conductivity.
