This　paper　is　intended　to　be　a　review　of　the　recent　situation　and　advances　in　the　studies　of　mineral　fast　ion　conductors　and　mineral　solid　electrolyte　batteries.　The　reviews　involve　the　following　parts:　The　definition　of　both　mineral　fast　ion　conductor　and　mineral　solid　electrolyte　battery;　Comments　on　mineral　fast　ion　conductors:　Describe　some　very　useful　starting　mineral　materials　for　the　preparation　of　mineral　fast　ion　conductors,　like　montmorillonite,　pyrophyllite,　and　kaolinite　etc.　Some　important　preparative　methods　for　mineral　fast　ion　conductors　were　introduced.　The　characterizations　of　mineral　fast　ion　conductors:　structure　measurement,　phase　identification,　ionic　conductivity　and　electrochemical　stability　etc.　also　were　described;　Comments　on　mineral　solid　electrolyte　batteries:　The　assembly　for　both　of　primary　mineral　solid　electrolyte　battery　and　secondary　(rechargeable)　mineral　solid　electrolyte　battery　was　introduced.　The　concerned　parameters　of　mineral　solid　electrolyte　batteries　were　reported.
