Solid State Lithium-Ion Battery Bundle
Argonne National Laboratory
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Addressing the growing need for safe, small, lightweight batteries with
high energy density and longer run time
Following
are
technologies
in
this
bundle:
Clean
Anodic
Lithium
Films
for
Longer
Life,
Rechargeable
Lithium
Ion
Batteries
(LBNL
2015-‐139)
This
electrolytic
refining
technology
prepares
clean
anodic
lithium
films
for
safe,
stable
lithium
ion
batteries
with
high
energy
densities
and
good
cycle
life.
The
electrolytes
lack
faceted
impurities
on
which
damaging
structures
grow
and
cause
battery
failure
by
short
circuit,
therefore
enhancing
safety
over
conventional
lithium
anodes.
Modified
Metal
Organic
Framework
(MOF)
as
a
Solid
Lithium
Electrolyte
for
Safer
Lithium-‐Ion
Batteries
(LBNL
3097)
A
process
to
increase
ionic
conductivity
of
a
modified
metal-‐organic
framework
(MOF)
enables
the
MOF,
with
its
honeycomb-‐like
structures,
to
become
a
practical,
solid
electrolyte
that
inhibits
dendrite
growth
and
facilitates
lightweight,
higher
capacity
lithium
anodes.
The
rigid
structure
of
the
solid-‐state
MOF
allows
it
to
serve
as
both
electrolyte
and
separator.
Block
Copolymer
Cathode
Binder
to
Simultaneously
Transport
Electronic
Charge
and
Ions
(LBNL
3025)
A
single
inactive
material
serves
both
as
a
binding
agent
that
holds
active
cathode
particles
in
place
and
as
a
two-‐lane
conductor
that
simultaneously
carries
lithium
ions
and
electronic
charge.
This
technology
offers
the
potential
for
an
intelligent
lithium
battery
designed
to
charge
rapidly,
protect
against
overcharging,
and
turn
itself
off
to
prevent
damage.
Materials
for
Solid
State
Electrolytes
and
Protective
Electrode
Coatings
for
Lithium
Batteries
(ANL
IN-‐13-‐057)
Atomic
layer
deposition
(ALD)
produces
films
that
permit
the
infiltration
of
porous
electrodes
to
provide
excellent
contact.
The
deposition
of
thin,
precise
electrolyte
layers
provides
higher
conductivity
than
thicker,
conventional
films.
