High Energy and Long Cycle Life Solid-State Li Metal Batteries Through Materials Development and Their Integration

High Energy and Long Cycle Life Solid-State Li Metal Batteries Through Materials Development and Their Integration

Abstract

All solid-state Li metal batteries (ASSLBs) have great potential as high-energy and safe energy storage systems. In the past years, many highly conductive solid-state electrolytes have been developed, which makes the solid-state battery system more compelling. However, several important challenges still remain to be addressed to make ASSLBs more competitive and practical. In this invited talk, I will present an overview of solid-state battery programs at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and discuss the important challenges in solid-state Li metal batteries as well as our recent progress in materials development and their integration in ASSLBs. 

Speaker

Dr. Haegyum Kim

Haegyeom Kim is a Career Staff Scientist at the Materials Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). He received his PhD in 2015 from Seoul National University and was a postdoctoral researcher at the LBNL until early 2019. His research interest lies in the materials design for energy storage and conversion materials based on the fundamental understanding of the synthesis process-structure-property relationship. He has published more than 95 peer-reviewed articles and 6 patents until now. He was selected as a Clarivate’s ‘Highly Cited Researcher (HCR)’, and won several awards, including 2023 ACS Materials Au Rising Star, Young Scientist Award from the International Society for Solid-State Ionics, ECS Battery Division Postdoctoral Associate Research Award.
