Summary
The ability to plate/strip reversibly an alkali-metal anode from a
solid electrolyte invites a complete rethink of rechargeablebattery
strategies. With the Li-glass and Na-glass electrolytes,
we have demonstrated in this paper one possible new strategy
in which the cathode consists of plating the anode alkali-metal on
a copper–carbon cathode current collector at a voltage V 4 3.0 V.
Replacement of a host insertion compound as cathode by a redox
center for plating an alkali-metal cathode provides a safe, low-cost,
all-solid-state cell with a huge capacity giving a large energy density
and a long cycle life suitable for powering an all-electric road
vehicle or for storing electric power from wind or solar energy.
Si esto es cierto, la portuguesa se merece el Nobel. El que se quede con la patente se hace de oro.
Estoy por mandarle un tweet a Elon Musk a ver que opina del tema.
