“Everyone involved in rechargeable batteries is investing in solid-state technology,” says Douglas Campbell, CEO
Researchers demonstrate a technique to fabricate safer and more compact batteries.
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 30, 2017 -- The lithium-ion batteries that commonly power mobile phones and laptops are ubiquitous and efficient. But they can occasionally explode -- as evidenced in the batteries used by Samsung's Galaxy Note 7, which the company recalled last year.
Solid-state batteries, which eschew the flammable and unstable liquid electrolytes of conventional lithium-ion batteries, could be a safer option. Now, researchers have demonstrated a new way to produce more efficient solid-state batteries. This proof-of-principle study may lead to safer and more compact batteries useful for everything from sensor networks to implantable biomedical devices.
Alex Pearse, a doctoral student at the University of Maryland, College Park and the Nanostructures for Electrical Energy Storage, a DOE-sponsored Energy Frontier Research Center, will present this work during the AVS 64th International Symposium and Exhibition being held Oct. 29-Nov. 3, 2017, in Tampa, Florida.
