Why the fuss about Batteries?
Inherent intermittency of renewable
energy generation technologies requires
reliable storage!
Consumer demand for faster, lighter, smaller, more
powerful, portable machines – frustrated by batteries!

Why high-energy batteries?

Stability Analysis
• Perturb the cathode profile as
• Expect all other variables to follow a similar variation
• Solve the transport problem for σ
• σ determines the stability of deposition – σ > 0 means unstable deposition – σ < 0 means stable deposition

• The perturbation becomes less stable with increasing wavenumber
• High wavenumber perturbations are stabilized by surface tension

Role of Separator Mechanics
As the electrolyte approaches a single-ion conductor, micron-sized dendrites are suppressed at electrolyte/separator moduli well below GLi ≈ 3.4 GPa.

Summary & Perspective
• Li batteries based on metallic lithium anodes offer good potential for energy storage at comparable energy densities with fossil fuels
• The most unstable mode for electrodeposition of metals is a strong function of the mobile anion fraction in an electrolyte
• Polymer-inorganic hybrids yield electrolytes with tunable mechanical properties, reasonable ionic conductivity and promising ability to prevent cell failure by dendrite short circuits
• Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes provide promising solutions towards cost-effective and safe LMBs
• Researchers are now on the cusp of multiple embodiments of Li metal battery technologies capable of partially delivering on the theoretical promise of this chemistry
