Multi-metal anode: Towards safe and energy dense batteries
Li metal is considered to be the holy grail anode material due to its high specific capacity and low standard redox potential and could, in theory, lead to the assembly of extremely high energy density cells. Metal anode based batteries, in general, represent the main viable option towards a leapfrog in terms of energy density when compared with current Li-ion technology, thus motivating important research efforts in Li-air, Li-Sulfur and, more recently, solid state batteries (SSB). Unfortunately, all of these technologies (even SSB) suffer from dendritic Li growth, eventually resulting in short circuit/thermal runaway. Requirements for smooth Li metal electrodeposition, mostly consist in…
