Customizing a Li–metal battery that survives practical operating conditions for electric vehicle applications

We customized a combination of cathode, anode, and electrolyte to develop an LMB capable of cycling both at a high loading capacity and at a high current density that satisfy the capacity and charging rate requirements for future electric vehicles.
