Enabling Stable Lithium Metal Anodes for Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries

Executive Summary

Solid-state batteries have the potential to revolutionize energy storage by providing significantly higher energy densities and improved safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries; however, robust high-capacity lithium metal anodes are required to realize this technology. By improving our understanding of the cyclability of high-capacity lithium metal anodes through an optimized host scaffold, we will enable development of safe, high-energy-density, solid-state batteries with optimized designs and fast charging times.
