University of Maryland team creates solid-state Li-ion battery out of one material

Green Car Congress

Credit: Maryland NanoCenter Click to enlarge. Engineers at the University of Maryland have created a solid-state Li-ion battery that is made entirely out of one material. At each end, the scientists added carbon to form electrodes that push the ions back and forth through the electrolyte as the battery charges and discharges.
