Researchers devise electrode architectures to prevent dendrite formation in solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

But the promise is worth pursuing, says MIT Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, because the amount of energy that can be stored in experimental versions of such cells is already nearly double that of conventional lithium-ion batteries. The team solved the dendrite problem by adopting a compromise between solid and liquid states. Eschler, C.M.,

Sadoway and MIT team demonstrate calcium-metal-based liquid metal battery

Green Car Congress

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.

MIT-led team devises new approach to designing solid ion conductors; implications for high-energy solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers led by a team from MIT, with colleagues from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), BMW Group, and Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a fundamentally new approach to alter ion mobility and stability against oxidation of lithium ion conductors—a key component of rechargeable batteries—using lattice dynamics.
