As flexible all-solid-state batteries are highly safe and light weight, they can be considered as candidates for wearable energy sources. However, their performance needs to be first improved, which can be done by using highly conductive solid-state electrolytes. Herein, we prepare a crystallized and amorphous LLTO electrolyte through magnetron sputtering and investigate the effect of heat treatment on its ionic conductivity.

The latter remains a great challenge and has become a big hurdle for some of the key advancements imperative to these fields. Here, we present a flexible capacitive pressure sensor with ultrabroad linear working range and high sensitivity.
