The demand for batteries to meet high power and high-energy system applications has resulted in substantial research and development activity to improve their safety, performance, and cost. Lithium ion batteries are the chief contenders in these areas today, but still suffer from limitations in energy and power density because of the design of their cathodes. The cubic ionic conductor battery materials of this emerging technology can be used as electrodes, or in cases requiring high ionic conductivity, improving safety, performance, and cost.
