TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY Enhanced Stability for Li Metal Batteries with Molybdenum Decorated Collectors

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is offering a technology licensing opportunity for an anode-free rechargeable lithium battery with a molybdenum (Mo) based current collector at the anode side. This system shows improved cycling performance due to uniform Li nucleation during plating compared with traditional Cu collectors. The benefits of this technology include significantly increased energy density, improved cycling performance, and a scalable process that uses commercially available sputtering technology. The potential applications of this technology include lithium-metal batteries. • Significantly increased energy density • Improved cycling performance compared to other Li metal batteries • Scalable process uses commercially available sputtering technology • Potential applications in lithium-metal batteries
