About the Webinar
Solid state batteries — with their high energy density and superior safety — are poised to transform the electric vehicle industry, consumer electronics, and grid storage. This webinar highlighted Berkeley Lab’s low-cost, scalable approaches that could enable large-scale fabrication of thick electrodes for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and expand the use of sustainable materials.
Key Topics Covered
- Structurally resilient ASSBs using rigid and soft solid electrolytes with successful cycling against lithium metal anodes (R&D 100 Award, 2020)
- Scalable fabrication of porous ceramic (LLZO) electrodes for solid state batteries
- Thin solid state electrolytes with enhanced critical current density and stable cycling
- Battery cells with organic cathodes and solid electrolytes, offering a theoretical specific capacity 50% higher than NMC cathodes
