Solid State Electrolyte for Li Battery Technology

The objective of the proposed research is to develop 3D solid-state electrolyte(SSE) technology with a power density >0.2 W/g. The strategy is to design, fabricate and electrochemically test 3D cell design. The fabrication technology developed in this project will aid GRC in advancing Lithium Ion Batteries (LIB) technology by developing new electrode and SSE materials to increase energy capacity and safety: 1) high Li ion conducting electrolyte based on sulfide chemistry, 2) Li metal anode technology and 3) high capacity/high voltage cathode materials. Lithium Ion Batteries with Li anode offer the highest theoretical capacity of all conventional battery types. More »
