Prof. Mauro Pasta, University of Oxford, Department of Materials
Abstract:
Batteries with energy densities that go beyond the commercial Li-ion chemistry are required to fuel the electric revolution. Metallic lithium is the ultimate high-energy anode but its successful implementation is dependent on increasing plating and stripping efficiency and preventing dendrite formation. In my talk, I will discuss how the interplay between the unique mechanical properties of lithium, the transport and thermodynamic properties of the electrolyte and the physicochemical properties of the solid electrolyte interphase affects lithium’s cycling behaviour.
