Organised around three research areas, namely anode, cathode and electrolyte, with cross-cutting characterisation & modelling activities, the project aims to prevent dendrites and voiding, minimise operating pressure and facilitate scaling.
#All solid state battery crack
Significant progress has been made including: understanding the role of voiding at the lithium-solid electrolyte interface on discharge, and the mechanism of lithium dendrite ingress and crack propagation/short circuit on charge developing and implementing of a new method of solid electrolyte materials discovery and understanding the effect of volume change in composite cathodes. SOLBAT is now using this fundamental understanding to provide solutions to these challenges. SOLBAT was established to address fundamental research challenges facing the realisation of solid-state batteries. The successful implementation of a lithium metal negative electrode and the replacement of the flammable organic liquid electrolytes currently used in Li-ion batteries with a solid would increase the range, decrease the charging time, and address safety concerns. An all-solid-state battery would revolutionise the EVs of the future and profoundly impact the consumer electronics and aerospace sectors.
The ambition of SOLBAT is to demonstrate the feasibility of a solid-state battery with performance superior to Li-ion in electric vehicle (EV) applications.
