Ford favoring bulk-type solid-state battery for next-gen energy storage

Green Car Congress

Ford is exploring a variety of “beyond Li-ion” solutions, including Lithium-sulfur, Lithium-air and solid-state lithium-ion batteries. A Li-air battery, with its air cathode, is a low-cost system, Anandan said. The bulk-type solid state battery could meet automotive design targets.

PNNL team uncovers reaction mechanisms of Li-air batteries; how batteries blow bubbles

Green Car Congress

Lithium-air batteries are looked to by many as a very high-energy density next-generation energy storage solution for electric vehicles. However, the technology has several holdups, including losing energy as it stores and releases its charge.The reaction mechanisms are, in general, not well understood.
