FISKER INC., 2020

Microscopically ordered solid electrolyte architectures for solid-state and hybrid lithium-ion batteries that enable high energy density, fast charging, and improved safety over traditional lithium-ion batteries. The architecture consists of a porous scaffold made of a lithium-conducting ceramic that can be infiltrated with cathode or anode active materials. The porous scaffold prevents short circuiting and allows high capacity loading. The ceramic scaffold is made by casting, freeze casting, and sintering nanoparticle slurries. The architecture enables energy densities over 300 Wh/kg and can have features as small as 25 microns for facile removal of carbon during sintering.
