[Second-generation solid-state batteries: Top-tier enterprises are already diving in! Lithium metal may become the "ultimate ideal"] "The anode is made of lithium metal." Recently, Ganfeng Lithium, a lithium giant in China, stated that its second-generation hybrid solid-state lithium battery uses lithium metal as the anode. The high specific energy battery developed has an energy density of 420 Wh/kg and a cycle life exceeding 700 cycles. With the development and mass production of solid-state batteries, the issue of lithium dendrites, which previously limited the application of lithium metal anodes, is being resolved. The new technology can not only inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites, but the solid electrolyte separator can also prevent them from puncturing the separator and causing battery short circuits. Following silicon carbon anodes, lithium metal anodes are becoming the new favorite in solid-state batteries and will also become the latest market for lithium resource applications.
