The Japanese company Ohara & Co Ltd says it has developed an electrically conductive glass-ceramic based on lithium ion.
According to the company, from Chuo-ku, Tokyo, the glass-ceramic can be used to make electric cells and sensors that are less expensive to manufacture and more sensitive and compact in design. For example, in an electric cell (battery), a lithium ion-conductive solid electrolyte can be made very thin, allowing for a large increase in energy density per unit volume compared to traditional materials. Further, the lithium ion cell ...
