This presentation will detail electrolytes that undergo a liquid to solid transition upon impact. This concept reimagines the battery electrolyte from something to fear to something intrinsic to the safety of a battery. This chemistry is built from colloidal particles that pack within a well defined space. Upon shear the packing changes forming a solid-like material. The presentation will discuss this chemistry and the interfacial reactions that dominate its performance.
