  • SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS FOR LITHIUM ANODE COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20220310992
    Abstract: This application relates to nanostructured materials having selectively permeable structures that separate a liquid phase contained within the nanostructure from a volume outside of the nanostructure, and methods of making same. Such materials may be used in the manufacture of lithium anode compositions for secondary batteries or other energy storage devices.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 18, 2020
    Publication date: September 29, 2022
    Inventors: Stephen Burkhardt, Christopher A. Simoneau, Larry Beck, Jay J. Farmer
