Strategic Objectives
• Drastically increase energy density by eliminating host materials.
• Master the mechanics of in-situ lithium plating on current collectors.
• Overcome the challenges of dendrite growth and interface instability.
• Reduce manufacturing complexity and overall battery weight.
The Core Challenge
Traditional lithium-ion batteries are reaching their theoretical limits, held back by the weight and volume of inactive host materials.
