Lithium metal batteries with liquid electrolytes are not safe because of dendrite growth. A new electrode structure consisting of porous silicon is shown to suppress dendrite growth, enabling high-power and safe battery. The results, supported by the study of reaction mechanisms, demonstrate excellent Coulombic efficiency and high volumetric energy density.

Long time consultant employee?/

Dr. Slobodan Petrovic is an associate professor at the Oregon Institute of Technology in Portland, OR. His research interests are in the areas of MEMS fuel cells, sensor media
compatibility, hydrogen generation and storage, and dye-sensitized solar cells. Prior to that, he was at the Arizona State University, where he taught courses in MEMS, Sensors,
and alternative energy. Dr. Petrovic also held appointments at Clear Edge Power as a Vice President of Engineering; at Neah Power Systems as Director of Systems Integration;
and Motorola, Inc. as a Reliability Manager. Dr. Petrovic has over 25 years of experience in MEMS, sensors, energy systems; fuel cells and batteries; and electrochemical solar
cells. He has over 50 journal publications and conference proceedings; 2 book contributions and 24 pending or issued patents

(Seems like alot of folks with a Motorola connection, Tekion, BASF, Polaris, and Globalfoundries, CEO, not to mention a number of shared or now owned patents)

approached Oregon Tech because of the school's expertise in energy storage and the capability of its Energy Storage Lab, directed by professor Slobodan Petrovic.

"Arcimoto came to us wanting to design a battery pack where heat generation and the contact to each cell are both better controlled, which will lead to lower cost as well as longer battery life," Petrovic said. "There has previously been very little precise testing of the behavior of these batteries in packs to gain insights into the internal process and how that is affected by the pack design. We have the ability to do all of this here at Oregon Tech."
