European researchers have developed a prototype lithium-metal battery with a solid electrolyte, offering 20% higher energy density than current lithium-ion batteries.
The “SOLiDIFY” consortium, composed of 14 European research institutes and partners, developed a battery with a pouch cell with an energy density of 1,070 Wh/L, compared to 800 Wh/L in standard lithium-ion batteries.
The consortium created a pouch cell with an energy density of 1,070 Wh/L at EnergyVille, a Belgian research laboratory. The group said state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries only reach about 800 Wh/L.
The team used a thick cathode made of nickel, manganese, and cobalt (NMC) with a thin lithium-metal anode and a thin separator of solid electrolyte. Solvionic, a France-based tech company, developed the solid-state electrolyte, using a polymerized nanocomposite material based on an ionic liquid specifically for the prototype.
The electrolyte changed phase from liquid to solid, allowing the application of thin electrolyte layers of 20 micrometers on 100-micrometer cathodes. This advancement enables the creation of compact battery cell stacks and higher volumetric energy densities.
The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) has already applied for a patent for the new approach.
The consortium developed a manufacturing process that operates at room temperature and uses existing lithium-ion battery production lines.
The group estimates the cost of the batteries at €150 ($166)/kWh, compared to BloombergNEF’s current estimates of €67/kWh for lithium iron phosphate batteries and €93/kWh for high-nickel NMC batteries.
Empa has said that a price of €150/kWh still offers affordable technology transfer in the industry.
The consortium partners have reduced the cell’s charging time to three hours and improved its thermal stability compared to lithium-ion cells.
The researchers said they plan to scale up the technology in the next step.
