Solid-electrolyte tantalum capacitors were first developed and commercially produced in the 1950s. They represented a quantum leap forward in miniaturization and reliability over existing wound-foil wet electrolytic capacitors. While the solid tantalum capacitor has dramatically improved electrical performance versus wet-electrolyte capacitors, especially at low temperatures, today’s electronic...

Solid electrolytes based on oxygen ion conductors find extensive applications as devices for oxygen sensor, oxygen pumps, solid oxide fuel cells and electrocatalytic reactors. When using ceramic ionic conductors for applications, frequent attempts are made to improve the performance of the electrochemical system by apply'rig mixed conductors as thin top layers instead of the conventional ir~ert...

All-solid-state battery is fundamentally different from liquid electrolyte batteries. To design interface stabilities, the solid system must be described by constrained thermodynamic ensemble rather than conventional unconstrained ensemble.
