INHIBITION OF LITHIUM DENDRITE GROWTH USING ULTRA-THIN SUB-NANOMETER POROUS CARBON NANOMEMBRANE IN CONVENTIONAL AND SOLID-STATE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

摘要

An exemplary lithium-ion battery may include an anode, a cathode, and a separator between the anode and cathode. The separator may be at least partially coated with a sub-nanometer porous membrane. The battery may be a conventional battery in which the anode and cathode are at least partially submerged in an electrolytic solution. Alternatively, the battery may be a solid-state battery disposed between the anode and cathode and having a solid-state electrolyte, which may serve as the separator.
