Alternative strategy for a safe rechargeable battery

The advent of a Li⁺ or Na⁺ glass electrolyte with a cation conductivity σ_i > 10⁻² S cm⁻¹ at 25 °C and a motional enthalpy ΔH_m = 0.06 eV that is wet by a metallic lithium or sodium anode is used to develop a new strategy for an all-solid-state, rechargeable, metal-plating battery.
