Developing the Next Generation of High-Performance Solid-State Batteries
- Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (LBNL), Berkeley, CA (United States)
The project team conducted cutting-edge battery research on electrode materials, electrolyte formulations, and cell designs for next-generation rechargeable lithium metal batteries designed for high energy density and safety. The research has focused on two separate but related technologies: 1) a high-temperature lithium metal battery designed for extreme environments, and 2) a high-energy lithium metal battery designed for more general applications (including aerospace, defense, transportation, electronics, etc.). We took these projects from the conceptual stage (an idea on paper) all the way to high performing lab prototypes and early commercial-format pouch and cylindrical cell prototypes. Both chemistries were improved substantially in terms of materials compatibility, lithium metal cyclability, high-voltage stability, high-temperature stability, and scalability.
