Upon insertion and extraction of lithium, materials important for electrochemical energy storage can undergo changes in thermal conductivity (${\Lambda}$) and elastic modulus ($\it M$). These changes are attributed to evolution of the…
Solid-state batteries require electrolytes that sustain high ionic conductivity under the mechanical environment of a functioning cell. Lattice strain, arising from stack pressure, thermal cycling, or lattice mismatch at interfaces, can…
So far, magneto-ionics, understood as voltage-driven ion transport in magnetic materials, has largely relied on controlled migration of oxygen ion/vacancy and, to a lesser extent, lithium and hydrogen. Here, we demonstrate efficient,…
