#A Battery That Last Twice as Long A Solidenergy startup has developed a lithium-ion battery that stores far more energy. Energy storage lies in swapping the conventional electrode materialraphiteor a thin sheet of lithium-metal foil which can store more lithium ions. The design consists of an ultra-thin metal anode made of thin lithium on copper which enables ultra-high energy density and high-efficiency electrolyte which enables high current density at room temperature. Solid Polymer Ionic Liquid (SPIL) electrolyte enables the ultra-thin lithium metal anode and improves the cell-level energy density by 50%compared to graphite anodes and 30%compared to silicon-composite anodes. Batteries are safe nonflammable and nonvolatile and can operate at elevated temperatures. It can be manufactured using existing Li-ion manufacturing facility leveraging mature infrastructure. The company says its prototype can be recharged 300 times while retaining 80%of its original storage capacityloser to what you need in portable electronics a
