Description
Navitas will collaborate with the University of Maryland group to develop a flexible microporous Li metal anode. The proposed porous anode will reduce Li dendrite growth via its built-in porosity and increase rate capability via its high surface area. It will enable a conformal, safe, and light weight lithium metal batteries as soldier portable power devices. The Phase I project will demonstrate the anode feasibility with specific energy >350 Wh/kg and cycle life >150. The Phase II project will extend the microporous electrode technology to cathode and demonstrate a pouch cell (at 3 Ah) with specific energy >400 Wh/kg and cycle life >300. A prototyping conformal battery will be delivered.
