New Technique Could Help Produce Lighter, Safer, and More Energy-Dense Batteries
New Technique Could Help Produce Lighter, Safer, and More Energy-Dense Batteries Written by AZoMMar 9 2021 A new fabrication technique could allow solid-state automotive lithium-ion batteries to adopt nonflammable ceramic electrolytes using the same production processes as in batteries made with conventional liquid electrolytes. The melt-infiltration technology developed by materials science researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology uses electrolyte materials that can be infiltrated into porous yet densely packed, thermally stable electrodes. The one-step process produces high-densit...
