SolidEnergy introduces disruptive high energy density battery

Posted on 29 Jan 2015 by Tim Brown

Waltham, Massachusetts-based battery company, SolidEnergy, has developed a novel “anode-less” battery prototype with more than 1200 Wh/L in energy density in a fraction of the time a traditional battery company requires to develop a working prototype.

The current state of play for lithium ion batteries Today’s first generation Li-ion batteries use graphite anodes offering an energy density of less than 600 Wh/L, while emerging second generation batteries with silicon-based anodes can reach 800 Wh/L. Though third generation lithium metal batteries can deliver even greater energy density, Li-Air and Li-Sulfur batteries still…
