A novel sulfide-based solid electrolyte from CAS researchers is revolutionizing battery technology with its exceptional ionic ...

Compared to the non-catalyzed reaction, which requires 3.44 eV (making it nearly impossible under normal conditions), the electron-catalyzed pathway reduces the activation energy to just 0.14 eV ...

Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for ‘successful collisions’ where atoms within the reactants rearrange to form products. It can be represented on an energy level diagram.

When the YSZ thickness is decreased to 30 nm the change is marked, with the conductivity increasing and the temperature dependence (activation energy) decreasing from 1.1 eV to 0.6 eV, giving rise ...
