ORNL team develops low-cost scalable method to join materials in solid-state batteries; electrochemical pulse

Green Car Congress

Solid-state batteries incorporate a safer, fast-charging architecture featuring a solid-state electrolyte versus the liquid electrolytes in today’s lithium-ion batteries. A successful solid-state commercial battery system could provide at least two times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries in a much smaller footprint.
