Themed collection Conducting ceramic membranes for energy conversion and storage

Kyle Brinkman, Frank Chen, Dong Ding and Xiao-Dong Zhou introduce the Materials Advances themed collection on conducting ceramic membranes for energy conversion and storage.

This review provides a focused discussion on the structures and ionic conduction mechanisms of inorganic solid-state proton and hydride anion conductors.

This review article focuses on the methods to solve the critical issue of reduction in NASICON-type solid electrolytes such as Li_1+xAl_xTi_2−x(PO₄)₃ and Li_1+xAl_xGe_2−x(PO₄)₃ by Li metal.

This article presents the connection between the sintering parameters and microstructural and functional transport properties of dual-phase composite.
