The joint study by BASF and Justus Liebig University Giessen investigates how to reliably test materials used in solid‑state batteries. It highlights the need for standardized methods to evaluate solid electrolytes and electrode materials, focusing on key factors such as ionic conductivity, stability, and interface behavior.
The work aims to create reproducible testing procedures that make laboratory results more comparable and relevant for real battery cells—ultimately supporting the development of safe and high‑performance solid‑state batteries.
