- This innovation has led to a collaboration with a UK battery manufacturer Ilika Technologies (elaine.kent@ilika.com), a patent application (2015840.8), and a £1.3M ISCF Faraday Battery Challenge grant application (results not announced). Solid-state lithium metal battery (SSLMB) is the next generation battery that achieves ultimate operation safety. However, the challenge is the slow ion transport in the SSLMB that deems its power density to be negligible. This paper reports an invention of an anisotropic electrode microstructure and the associated manufacturing technique that increased SSLMB power density by an order of magnitude, achieving superb energy storage performance at a practical manufacturing scale.
