So far, the current densities that have been achieved in experimental solid-state batteries have been far short of what would be needed for a practical commercial rechargeable battery. The work was supported by the US Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the MIT-Skoltech Next Generation Program. Eschler, C.M.,
