New solid-electrolyte interphase may boost prospects for rechargeable Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable lithium metal batteries with increased energy density, performance, and safety may be possible with a newly-developed, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), according to Penn State researchers. In this project, we used a polymer composite to create a much better SEI. V Li|LiNi 0.5
