报告摘要：
Current technologies for Electric Vehicles and other applications that require high energy, power density, and long cycle life are limited to conventional Li-ion battery cell assembly and manufacturing. However, the energy density and safety of current batteries still need to be improved to satisfy these requirements. Typical Li-ion batteries consist of organic electrolytes that are toxic, flammable, and pose significant safety concerns in the events of thermal runaway and improper operation and handling. In recent years, Dr. Wang’s group at the University of Maryland has explored advanced materials for Li-ion, Na-ion, Zn-ion and Mg-ion batteries and supercapacitors that address these key challenges. A new revolutionary concept of an aqueous based electrolyte for Li-ion batteries, termed water-in-salt electrolyte, has been developed, extending the electrochemical voltage stability window of aqueous electrolytes to 3V and significantly enhancing the energy density that can be attained with a water-based chemistry. Significant innovations have been accomplished in the area of solid-state battery, where recently a technology that uses a single material in the entire solid state battery structure has been developed. The talk will cover a transformational demonstration of a robust flexible Li-ion battery that can be cut open, exposed to air, and continue to operate despite the mechanical damage.
