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. As the battery cycles, its stores of active lithium and electrolyte are depleted. Inactive lithium is also made up of another component: lithium ions, which are the building blocks of the SEI layer.
