  5. Hybrid and Composite Materials:
    The use of hybrid and composite materials that combine different functionalities (ionic and electronic conduction) is on the rise, with a focus on improving performance in energy storage and conversion applications.

Declining or Waning

While 'Solid State Ionics' continues to thrive in several key areas, certain themes have seen a decline in focus. This may reflect shifts in research priorities or advancements in technology that render previous topics less relevant.
  1. Traditional Ceramic Electrolytes:
    Research on traditional ceramic electrolytes, such as simple perovskites without advanced modifications, appears to be waning as more innovative materials and composites are developed to enhance ionic conductivity and mechanical properties.
  2. Basic Characterization Techniques:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing solely on basic characterization techniques for materials, such as standard X-ray diffraction or basic impedance spectroscopy, as the field shifts towards more application-oriented and advanced characterization methods.
  3. Single-ion Conductors:
    Research on single-ion conductors has diminished, possibly due to the growing interest in mixed ionic-electronic conductors and materials that provide enhanced performance in real-world applications.
  4. Conventional Lithium-Ion Battery Materials:
    The focus on conventional lithium-ion battery materials is declining as researchers explore alternative chemistries and materials that offer higher capacities and improved safety profiles.
