UofG contributes to 'game-changing' new study on electric batteries
Published: 30 June 2023
Dr Guanchen Li (JWSE) contributed to the research, led by the University of Oxford and published in Nature as a a co-author. Using advanced imaging techniques, the researchers revealed mechanisms which cause lithium metal solid-state batteries (Li-SSBs) to fail. If these can be overcome, solid-state batteries using lithium metal anodes could deliver a step-change improvement in EV battery range, safety and performance, and help advance electrically powered aviation.
