Supported by an ARPA-E grant, LiRAP has proven to be a safe alternative compared to the liquid electrolytes used in most of today’s lithium ion batteries. The LiRAP solid electrolytes conduct Li + ions well at high voltage and high current, providing much enhanced energy density and power capacity as well as safety. Lithium sulfur.

Wearable devices, like nearly every other piece of tech, need energy. Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere. And today, technology is maturing to the point that meaningful amounts of these energy giveaways can be harvested to liberate wearables from ever needing a battery.

Flow of lithium ions into and out of alloy battery anodes has long been a limiting factor in how much energy batteries could hold using conventional materials. The problem has been that directly synthesizing these hollow nanostructures at the large scales needed for commercial applications is challenging and expensive.
