A solid favor for researchers: A new way to investigate the electric double layer effect

All-solid-state batteries are expected to replace conventional batteries with a liquid electrolyte thanks to their improved safety, durability, and capacity. However, the electric double layer (EDL) effect is a phenomenon that is suspected to be a hindrance to battery performance and is difficult to measure. To tackle this issue, scientists have developed a new methodology to explore the EDL using diamond-based field-effect transistors, paving the way to better solid-state ionic devices and batteries.
