Solid-State Batteries Achieve Key Breakthrough! Silicone Materials Drive Cross-Industry Innovation as CAS Team Unlocks New Pathways for Energy Storage

Recently, research on solid-state batteries — a field drawing global attention in energy science and technology — has made a major breakthrough. A team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS Lanzhou Institute), has successfully developed a silicon-based composite solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity at room temperature. The innovative use of silicone materials has pressed the “fast-forward button” for the commercialization of solid-state batteries.

As a core direction of next-generation energy storage technology, solid-state batteries offer significant advantages over conventional lithium-ion batteries: energy density increases by more than 30%, enabling electric vehicles to achieve ranges of over 1,000 km; they also fundamentally eliminate the fire risks posed by high temperatures in traditional batteries. Even under extreme low temperatures of –40 °C, they maintain stable discharge performance, making them a key technology for driving transformation in the new energy industry.

This breakthrough by CAS Lanzhou Institute addresses two major challenges in solid-state battery development — interfacial resistance and ion transport efficiency. The team pioneered a “silicone nanowire-grafted montmorillonite nanosheet” technique to construct nanofillers with neuron-like structures. When incorporated into PEO-based composite solid electrolytes, these fillers form long-range, continuous ion transport channels, doubling lithium-ion conduction efficiency. The material achieved room-temperature conductivity exceeding 10⁻⁴ S/cm, while batteries retained 92% of their capacity even after 1,000 charge–discharge cycles.

Notably, this achievement not only significantly enhances the performance of solid-state batteries but also represents a cross-industry breakthrough for silicone materials. Traditionally used mainly in sealing and insulation, silicones have now found a novel high-value application in solid electrolytes. Experts suggest this technology could lower the cost of industrializing solid-state batteries and accelerate their large-scale deployment in electric vehicles and energy storage systems — offering a “Chinese solution” for the global energy transition.
