Georgia Tech researchers develop aluminum-foil-based anodes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Metal negative electrodes that alloy with lithium have high theoretical charge storage capacity and are ideal candidates for developing high-energy rechargeable batteries. However, such electrode materials show limited reversibility in Li-ion batteries with standard non-aqueous liquid electrolyte solutions. Resources Liu, Y.,
