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

Green Car Congress

Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Materials Science and Engineering, is using an aluminum-foil-based anode in a solid-state Li-ion battery to create batteries with higher energy density and greater stability. The new battery system is detailed in an open-access paper in Nature Communications.

Study identifies main culprit behind lithium metal battery failure; counters conventional wisdom

Green Car Congress

The discovery, published in Nature , challenges the conventional belief that lithium metal batteries fail because of the growth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) between the lithium anode and the electrolyte. The findings could pave the way for bringing rechargeable lithium metal batteries from the lab to the market.

This requires the high-voltage batteries to be sufficiently charged. The inverter controls the torque of the electric motor by regulating the current from the high voltage battery pack. The converter converts the 200 volts from the high-voltage battery pack into 12 volts to supply the vehicle’s onboard systems. Energy recovery.
