Skoltech researchers Mariam A. Pogosova, Irina V. Krasnikova, Alexey O. Sanin, Svetlana A. Lipovskikh, and Keith J. Stevenson and their colleagues Andrei A. Eliseev and Artem V. Sergeev have shown that LATP, a solid electrolytes considered for use in next-generation energy storage, is highly sensitive to water, which has direct implications for potential battery performance and lifetime. The paper was published in the journal Chemistry of Materials.
