© Wiley - It is one of the key technologies for high-performance batteries of the future: the lithium metal battery (LMB). Designed for instance as solid-state battery with polymer electrolyte, it promises a significantly higher energy density than the currently common lithium-ion battery (LIB). However, it is not yet fully developed for the final commercial breakthrough and is therefore currently used by only a few pilot projects. MEET scientists led by Mengyi Zhang and Martin Kolek have now identified further factors that have a significant influence on the interface between the lithium metal anode and a polymer electrolyte. With their research results, they provide important approaches for further optimising lithium metal technology. Interface as a challenge. The MEET scientists investigated wetting phenomena and their effects on the electrochemical performance of lithium metal anodes.
