Cornell team uses indium coating to enable use of high-capacity lithium metal anodes

Green Car Congress

In a paper in the journal Angewandte Chemie the team shows that the indium (In) coatings stabilize the Li metal via multiple processes, including exceptionally fast surface diffusion of lithium ions and high chemical resistance to liquid electrolytes. Other approaches include artificial films or physical barriers.
