However, in the case of Li-metal, repeated charging and discharging lead to dendrite growth, where lithium ... anode materials proposed by KERI and the university team this time are tin(Sn)-based ...

With this agreement, Ecopro Innovation and Hydro-Québec will conduct joint research and establish pilot facilities for lithium metal anode production for secondary batteries by next year.

Sodium is abundant compared to lithium, so batteries that use sodium are attractive. According to the University of Chicago’s news release: Anode-free batteries remove the anode and store the ...
