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. —Liu et al.

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

Green Car Congress

The findings could pave the way for bringing rechargeable lithium metal batteries from the lab to the market. They promise twice the energy density of today’s lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes, so they could last longer and weigh less. —first author Chengcheng Fang, a materials science and engineering Ph.D.
