Abstract:Solid state batteries offer significant advantages over today’s cells containing liquid electrolytes. In large format cells required for automotive applications, replacement of volatile, flammable organic solvents with a solid phase electrolyte eliminates safety concerns. Other benefits include lower costs due to elimination of the costly separator and the potential to improve energy density by enabling safe lithium metal anodes. Solid state cells also offer opportunities for novel cell formats, shapes, and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
