The anode is screen printed with carbon paints creating a hydrophilic zone with wax boundaries.
The design consists of an ultra-thin metal anode made of thin lithium on copper
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
a liquid cathode and a solid lithium anode, exhibited encouraging early results, encompassing many of the features desired in a state-of-the-art energy storage device.
Before the new battery hits the shelves, researchers still have a lot of work ahead of them considering the lithium anode
such as zinc and magnesium that could serve as the anode in a battery of this type. e also expect that other organometallic compounds with multi-valence-state metal centers (redox centers) may also function as the anode,
on another side the anode is screen printed with carbon paints, creating a hydrophilic zone with wax boundaries.
Batteries consist of one electrode on either side an anode and a cathode and an electrolyte between them.
