Metal negative electrodes that alloy with lithium have high theoretical charge storage capacity and are ideal candidates for developing high-energy rechargeable batteries. These results demonstrate the possibility of improved all-solid-state batteries via metallurgical design of negative electrodes while simplifying manufacturing processes.

The findings could pave the way for bringing rechargeable lithium metal batteries from the lab to the market. For example, in an electrolyte specially designed by Meng’s collaborators at General Motors, lithium deposits as dense, column-shaped chunks. Control of the micro- and nanostructure is key. —Professor Meng.

The design of the powertrain (engine powering the front wheels, motor powering the rear) enables 4-wheel drive, an all-electric mode, and fuel consumption of 3.8 An energy recovery system enables kinetic energy to be transformed into electrical energy to recharge the NiMH batteries during deceleration (release of the accelerator and braking).
