The Innovation of Non-Flammable Electrolytes in Lithium-Metal Batteries
Research and Development of a Groundbreaking Solution Improving the stability of high-voltage chloride-based solid electrolytes (Li3MCl6) has been a long-standing challenge for researchers in the field. A recent breakthrough by a collaborative team has proposed a revolutionary design principle – a chloride-based solid electrolyte (Li3MCl5F) incorporating fluorine (F), known for its robust chemical bonding capabilities. By leveraging the supercomputing resources at LLNL for precise calculations and conducting experimental validations at KIST, this innovative approach marks a turning point in battery technology. The strategic alliance adopted a cost-effective and time-efficient method, where computational simulations guided the initial material design, followed by
