Breakthrough battery charges in minutes and lasts thousands of cycles
‘Lithium metal anode batteries are considered the holy grail of batteries,’ researcher says
The research team behind the novel design, who are based at Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) in the US, claim their solid-state cell could revolutionise electric cars and smartphones by significantly increasing their range and capacity while simultaneously reducing charging times. Their research focussed on lithium metal anode batteries, which have vastly superior capacities but until now have proved too unstable for practical use. Since making their discovery, Professor Li and his team have licensed the technology through a Harvard spinoff company called Adden Energy in the hope of commercialising it.
