For many years, researchers around the world have been working hard to harness the potential of solid state lithium metal batteries, capable of retaining a greater amount of energy in the same volume. And that, in addition, they charge in a fraction of the time if we compare them with traditional lithium-ion batteries.
Now, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) are pursuing the goal of developing a lithium metal battery useful not only for its high capacity, but also for its energy density, which is characterized by being very stable (a very common problem that scientists have been facing for years.
