- The Scientists at Indian Institute of Science have found nanoscopic refractory metal layers like Tungsten.
- It could improve the performance of these batteries which are crucial for purposes like electrical mobility.
- This will enable fast charge-discharge rates in solid-state lithium metal batteries.
- Conventional Li-ion batteries employ a graphite anode, a liquid electrolyte, and a transition metal cathode.
- However, the liquid electrolytes are flammable and degrade at high temperatures leading to poor battery life.
- And in extreme cases they lead to battery fires.
- Replacing the liquid electrolyte with a ceramic solid electrolyte could enable safer Li-ion batteries that also last longer on a single charge.
