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. negative electrode is combined with a Li 6 PS 5 Cl solid-state electrolyte and a LiNi 0.6

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

Green Car Congress

They promise twice the energy density of today’s lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes, so they could last longer and weigh less. Inactive lithium is also made up of another component: lithium ions, which are the building blocks of the SEI layer. Meanwhile, the amount of lithium ions from the SEI layer consistently stays low.
