Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to the preparation of essentially silica-free glasses which can be melted at low temperatures and which have compositions within the Li2O-Al2O3 and/or F-B2O3 system. The glasses exhibit very high lithium ion mobility which, resulting in low electrical resistivity, has led to their consideration as solid membrane electrolyte-separators in such devices as the lithium metal-sulfur battery.
