  • High Coulombic efficiency cycling of metal batteries
    Patent number: 10547088
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method for cycling a rechargeable alkali metal battery with high Coulombic efficiency (CE) are disclosed. A slow charge/rapid discharge protocol is used in conjunction with a concentrated electrolyte to achieve high CE in rechargeable lithium and sodium batteries, include anode-free batteries. In some examples, the CE is ?99.8%.
    Type: Grant
