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

Green Car Congress

The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy. Resources Liu, Y., Instead of using pure aluminum in the foils, the researchers added small amounts of other materials to the aluminum to create foils with particular microstructures.

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

Green Car Congress

As the battery cycles, its stores of active lithium and electrolyte are depleted. However, a major issue with lithium metal batteries is low Coulombic efficiency—i.e., they undergo a limited number of cycles before they stop working. Chengcheng Fang, Jinxing Li, Minghao Zhang, Yihui Zhang, Fan Yang, Jungwoo Z.

This is done in order to fulfill the required security level while considering the resource constraints of the embedded environment. As a measure to maintain this security level at all times, despite the restricted resources, the key material is updated on a cyclic basis by means of secure protocols.
