  • Modified electrolyte-anode interface for solid-state lithium batteries
    Patent number: 11670755
    Abstract: A solid-state battery cell includes a cathode, an anode, a solid-state electrolyte between the cathode and the anode, and an electrolyte-anode interfacial layer between the solid-state electrolyte and the anode. The electrolyte-anode interfacial layer comprises porous, high surface area carbon and nanostructures formed on an anode-facing surface of the solid-state electrolyte, wherein the nanostructures penetrate the porous, high surface area carbon.
    Type: Grant
