Goodenough and UT team report new strategy for all-solid-state Na or Li battery suitable for EVs; plating cathodes

Green Car Congress

Replacing a conventional host insertion compound as a cathode by a redox center for plating an alkali-metal cathode provides a safe, low-cost, all-solid-state cell with a large capacity resulting in high energy density and a long cycle life. Using the new glass, the cathode consists of plating the anode alkali-metal (e.g.,
