【#Tech24H】To enable all-solid-state batteries to charge as quickly as refueling, the anode is the critical battleground. The Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has proposed and systematically validated the design concept of an electron-ion collaborative conductive network (EICN), and developed a novel Li–Al–Si–Zn (ASZ@Li) quaternary alloy anode, offering a new material design paradigm to break the ultra-fast-charging bottleneck of all-solid-state batteries. When paired with a Ni90 high-nickel cathode, the ASZ@Li alloy anode delivers remarkable rate performance at 55°C, finishing a full charge-discharge cycle in just 72 seconds and maintaining high capacity after thousands of cycles, showing excellent practical application potential.
