Exceptional Performance and Durability
A team from Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) introduces a groundbreaking solid-state lithium metal battery with unparalleled durability, enduring over 6,000 charge-discharge cycles.
Dendrite Mitigation Strategy
Addressing a common challenge in battery design, the researchers employ micron-sized silicon particles in the anode, constraining the lithiation reaction and preventing dendrite formation for enhanced safety and efficiency.
Efficient and Rapid Charging
The innovative design offers a more efficient charging process, with lithium ions’ movement constricted at the surface of silicon particles. This dynamic lithiation process facilitates quick plating and stripping, enabling a rapid recharge in approximately 10 minutes.
Commercialization and Future Exploration
With promising results, the technology has been licensed to Adden Energy, a Harvard spinoff, marking a significant step towards commercialization. Moreover, the research opens avenues for exploring other materials with similar performance characteristics for future battery advancements.
