  • LITHIUM METAL FOILS WITH LOW DEFECT DENSITY
    Publication number: 20210351402
    Abstract: Commercially-available lithium metal foils have been found to have a high density of crystalline defects. When such foils are used as the anode in a secondary lithium metal battery cell, repeated cycling may lead to the formation of lithium shunts near the crystalline defects, which can cause shorting. Methods described herein may be used to reduce the density of crystalline defects in lithium metal foils. Such lithium metal can be used as the anode in lithium battery cells.
    Type: Application
