ANODIC DENDRITIC GROWTH SUPPRESSION SYSTEM FOR SECONDARY LITHIUM BATTERIES

摘要

Provided herein are methods for manufacturing lithium-metal anode [18] assemblies for thin-film, thick-film and hulk secondary batteries that use liquid or gel-type electrolytes [14], and lithium-metal anode [18] assemblies for thick-film and bulk secondary batteries that use solid electrolytes [18]. These methods involve electrolytic formation of a lithium metal anode [18] between a protecting lithium-stable, solid electrolyte [18] material and an eieethcaiiy- Gonduciive substrate [20]. Secondary lithium batteries made by these methods aw also provided.
