Engineers create a high performance all solid state battery with a pure silicon anode

Engineers created a new type of battery that weaves two promising battery subfields into a single battery. The battery uses both a solid state electrolyte and an allsilicon anode, making it a silicon allsolidstate battery. The initial rounds of tests show that the new battery is safe, long lasting, and energy dense. It holds promise for a wide range of applications from grid storage to electric vehicles.
