Abstract. Lithium metal batteries, featuring a Li metal anode, are gaining increasing attention as the most promising next-generation replacement for mature Li-ion batteries. The ever-increasing demand for high energy density has driven a surge in the development of Li metal batteries, including all-solid-state and full-liquid configurations.
The system at KIT is designed to store 100 kilowatt-hours of heat and has been tested on the laboratory scale at temperatures of up to 400°C so far. "This is the world''s liquid-metal heat storage system of this kind with such a capacity. We want to show that the principle works and that it has great potential," says Klarissa Niedermeier.
