"needed to make sure that the electrons could not move easily through the electrolyte to trigger its decomposition at high voltage... not yet clear why the electronic conductivity is lower than many previously reported chloride electrolytes, but it helps establish a clean interface between the cathode material and solid electrolyte, a fact that is largely responsible for the stable performance even with high amounts of active material in the cathode"
