One step closer to lithium metal batteries that function with minimal external pressure

Read more at In this video: Video of the new transparent, thin-film FS-LiPON material developed at UC San Diego which promotes a uniformly dense lithium metal electrochemical deposition under zero external pressure, with the aid of internal compressive stress and a gold seeding layer. The team also reports that this new stand-alone thin-film version of LiPON enables fundamental research (ss-NMR and Cryo-EM) of ion conduction and electrochemical performance.
