In the last two decades, considerable efforts were made to develop solid electrolytes for lithium rechargeable batteries. The conductivity of these electrolytes is marginal for many applications. In addition, they possess a low cationic transport number and poor interfacial stability with lithium electrodes., In view of these deficiencies, this paper explores a new technical approach which involves using grain boundaries as the conduction path for lithium ions. The authors will also report preliminary data on two model systems: Li{sub 3}N-LiPO{sub 3} and LiI-LiPO{sub 3}.
