Cover Story: Solid-state batteries, with high energy density, safety, and stability, are considered the next generation of energy storage technology. Sodium-based systems, in particular, benefit from sodium’s low cost, abundance, and sustainability. However, low ionic conductivity and high interfacial resistance prevent their adoption. This study explores polyvinyl-based polymers as wetting agents for NASICON-type NZSP solid electrolyte. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was performed on symmetric cells, demonstrating a significant reduction in interfacial resistance using poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)-based glue, achieving an impressive ionic conductivity of 1.31 mS cm−1 at room temperature, and reaching 7.36 mS cm−1 at 90 ºC. These findings highlight the potential of PVAc-based polymers in enabling high-performance sodium-ion solid-state batteries. View this paper
