Superionic Conductivity (IMAGE) DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Caption The Paddlewheel Effect. Above a certain temperature, SO??² anions begins to rotate, and simultaneously nearby Li? cations become highly mobile. Linda Nazar's work shows that in certain solid electrolytes, altering the chemical composition enables anion rotation and the paddlewheel effect below room temperature.
