Li‐ion‐conducting solid electrolytes can simultaneously overcome two grand challenges for Li‐ion batteries: the severe safety concerns that limit the large‐scale application and the poor electrolyte stability that forbids the use of high‐voltage cathodes. Nevertheless, the ionic conductivity of soli...
