Self-Forming Thin Interphases and Electrodes Enabling 3-D Structured High Energy Density Batteries
An electrolytically in-situ formed fluoride/lithium based battery has been developed to offer a pathway to scalable reconfigurable solid state batteries of high energy density. Research into the development of novel in-situ formed chemistries encompassing the negative and positive reactive current collectors, and the bi-ion glass conductor along with electrode structure was accomplished with a focused attention on transport. The solid state in-situ batteries were fabricated with a maskless scalable patterning technique to offer a pathway to high throughput, low material loss and fabrication of complex architectures. Such development and integration enabled to achieve the 12 V bipolar batteries at > 1000 Wh/L energy density based on electrode pairs and current collectors.
