"ionically conductive but almost non-volatile and usually non-flammable... minimal effect on the slurry from which the cathode is formed, leaving manufacturing process virtually untouched... prototype battery made with their quasi-solid-state cathode and a solid "garnet" electrolyte (referring to its structure), which showed good rechargeability, with 80% capacity retention after 100 charge/discharge cycles at an elevated temperature of 60°C... optimal ionic liquid content of 11wt%"
