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

Green Car Congress

The research team knew that aluminum would have energy, cost, and manufacturing benefits when used as a material in the battery’s anode, but pure aluminum foils were failing rapidly when tested in batteries. In the end, they had created high energy density batteries that could potentially outperform lithium-ion batteries. Resources Liu, Y.,
