Tag: all-solid lithium batteries

Scientists of the Research Centre Jülich and the Westphalian Wilhelms University Münster developed a new solid-state battery. Its speciality: It has an anode made of pure lithium. The alkali metal is regarded as the ideal electrode material because it achieves the highest energy densities. But since the metal is very reactive, it has not yet been used as an anode. The researchers, however, tricked

Researchers investigate mechanics of lithium sulfides, which show promise as solid electrolytes. David L. Chandler | MIT News Office February 2, 2017 Most batteries are composed of two solid, electrochemically active layers called electrodes, separated by a polymer membrane infused with a liquid or gel electrolyte. But recent research has explored the possibility of all-solid-state batteries, in which the liquid (and
