Abstract

This virtual issue is targeted to students and researchers, and highlights 32 research articles published over the past 5 years (from July 2016 to July 2021) in Chemistry of Materials (CM). The compilation of papers summarizes the latest advances in the field of solid-state electrolytes for lithium (Li)-, sodium (Na)- and multivalent-ion (not among the 31 articles discussed) all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), with a focus on inorganic materials and excluding hybrid systems, e.g., polymer/ceramic composites or systems including liquid media. A total of 125 articles reporting exciting experimental and/or theoretical findings on solid electrolytes have been considered for this issue.
