Next-gen batteries possible with new engineering approach

A three-dimensional cross-linked polymer sponge attaches to the metal plating of a lithium ion battery anode, allowing ion transfer and limiting deterioration. Credit: Donghai Wang Dramatically longer-lasting, faster-charging and safer lithium metal batteries may be possible, according to Penn State research, recently published in Nature Energy. The researchers developed a three-dimensional, cross-linked polymer sponge that attaches to the metal plating of
