China team uses LiPON coating to protect Li metal anode in Li-S batteries - Green Car Congress

A team of researchers in China has devised a simple and mass-produceable method to modify a Li metal anode to avoid the formation of an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and the subsequent growth of Li dendrites in high-energy-density Li-S batteries. A paper on their work is published in the journal Energy Storage Materials.
