Battery Breakthrough

Caption

Nathan Taylor, a post-doctoral fellow in mechanical engineering, inspects a piece of lithium metal in the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory building at the University of Michigan on Aug. 7, 2018 in Ann Arbor, MI. Taylor works in the lab of Jeff Sakamoto, professor of mechanical engineering. Their team has developed a process for creating lithium metal solid state batteries with LLZO as an electrolyte that could drastically improve upon the performance and capacity of current lithium-ion battery technologies.
