Harvard University researchers have developed a new solid-state battery that can be recharged in 10 minutes and can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times, outperforming other pouch cell batteries. The battery uses micron-sized silicon particles in the anode to prevent the formation of dendrites, allowing for quick plating and stripping and enabling fast recharging. The technology has been licensed to Adden Energy, a Harvard spinoff company, and could be a game-changer for electric vehicles if mass-produced at a lower price than lithium-ion batteries.

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times, lasting for thousands of cycles and recharging in minutes. The battery design utilizes micron-sized silicon particles in the anode to constrict the lithiation reaction and facilitate homogeneous plating of a thick layer of lithium metal, preventing the formation of dendrites. This breakthrough offers new understanding into the materials used for solid state batteries and paves the way for more practical applications in industrial and commercial settings.

NASA researchers at the Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety (SABERS) have developed a high-performing solid-state battery that could potentially power electric aircraft more efficiently than lithium-ion batteries. The new battery design eliminates 30 to 40 percent of the weight of traditional batteries and can double or even triple the energy storage capacity. Solid-state batteries are lighter, safer, and can operate in higher temperatures than lithium-ion batteries. While not yet commercially viable, this battery technology has attracted interest from the U.S. government and the aviation industry as a promising solution to reduce air pollution from air travel.
