Georgia Tech team develops melt-infiltration technique for scalable production of solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

A new fabrication technique could allow all-solid-state automotive lithium-ion batteries (ASSLBs) to adopt nonflammable ceramic electrolytes using the same production processes as in batteries made with conventional liquid electrolytes. The standard electrode assemblies, including the polymer binder or glue, can be stable in these conditions.
