A team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Pu Yuan Future Technology College, under the guidance of Associate Professor Wan Jiayu, has recently unveiled groundbreaking findings on solid-state electrolytes in two seminal research papers published in esteemed international journals. The first paper, titled "Unveiling Phase Evolution of Complex Oxides toward Precise Solid-State Synthesis," appeared in Science Advances and delves into the innovative template-assisted ultrafast synthesis design of solid-state electrolytes. The second paper, featured in Advanced Materials, focuses on the intricate interface design of high-entropy solid-state electrolytes.

These pioneering studies benefitted from collaborations with teams led by Zhu Yizhou and Yang Yao from Westlake University, as well as Zeng Lin's team from the Southern University of Science and Technology. Together, these collaborations have introduced novel concepts and methodologies for the design of solid-state electrolytes, setting a new benchmark in the field.
