PULSELiON publishes its 24th Open Access Paper: “Advanced manufacturing of thin-film lithium metal anode by pulsed-laser deposition for next-generation solid-state batteries”
The PULSELiON project proudly announces its 24th Open Access publication, showcasing a breakthrough in thin-film lithium metal anode fabrication for solid-state batteries.
Published in Journal of Power Sources (Elsevier, 2025, Volume 655, Article 237986), the study presents a one-step pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method to fabricate 10 μm lithium metal layers and 1 μm LLZO protective coatings directly onto copper substrates. This approach enhances interfacial stability, suppresses dendrite formation, and improves cycling performance in sulfide-based solid-state batteries.
Electrochemical testing in symmetric and full cells demonstrates that LLZO-coated lithium anodes exhibit lower interfacial resistance, extended cycling life, and stable performance, achieving a specific capacity of 187 mAh·g⁻¹ in full-cell configuration with NMC cathodes.
