In the critical area of sustainable energy storage, solid-state batteries are attracting considerable attention due to their potential safety, energy-density and cycle-life benefits [1]. A complete understanding of solid electrolyte materials for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries requires greater fundamental knowledge of their structural, ion transport and interface properties. This talk will highlight recent studies [2-4] on ion conduction mechanisms, doping effects and grain boundary structures in oxide, oxyhalide and sulfide based solid electrolyte materials. A combination of materials modelling and experimental methods has helped us gain new atomic-scale insights into these materials, which are valuable in developing strategies to optimize their properties.
