Researchers at Rensselaer have developed a new technique using heat to enable self-healing lithium-metal anodes to eliminate dangerous dendrite buildup, paving the way for higher energy density battery technologies. We have found that lithium metal dendrites can be healed in situ by the self-heating of the dendritic particles.

Sion Power’s proprietary lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries ( earlier post ) played a critical role in the QinetiQ Zephyr smashing the world record for the longest duration unmanned flight. The battery utilized Sion’s unique, high specific energy Li-S cells which provide 350 Wh/kg, the highest available for a rechargeable battery.

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. Importantly, the nanofluids are engineered to remain suspended indefinitely, unlike other suspensions—for instance, sand in water. The recharging could also be done at a service station or in the EV itself.

Solid-state rechargeable batteries are drawing significant attention due to their increased energy density (partially enabled by the safe use of Li metal anodes), safety and reliability. Solid-state electrolytes are superior to liquid electrolytes in various aspects including dendrite formation on the anode, flammability, and leakage.
