KAIST finds breakthrough toward commercialising anode-free batteries
A KAIST research team said it addressed interfacial instability in anode-free lithium batteries by introducing a 15-nanometre artificial polymer layer on the electrode surface. The approach aims to secure longer life and stability without altering electrolyte composition. The polymer layer shifts decomposition toward salt components and forms a stable inorganic SEI, helping curb electrolyte consumption and excessive SEI growth. The team also cited operando Raman analysis and MD simulations.
