Exploring the Feasibility of Anode-Free Lithium-Ion Batteries with Femtosecond Laser Microfabrication

I'm delving into the potential of femtosecond laser microfabrication for creating anode-free lithium-ion batteries—a concept that could revolutionize energy storage. Anode-free designs aim to simplify battery architecture, enhance energy density, and potentially lower costs.

However, such systems face critical challenges, including:

  • Ensuring stable lithium plating/stripping during cycling.
  • Mitigating dendrite formation and electrolyte decomposition.
  • Achieving precise microfabrication to optimize electrode structure and surface properties.

Femtosecond lasers, with their high precision and minimal thermal effects, seem promising for tailoring electrode surfaces to enhance lithium deposition and cycling stability. But how far can we push this technology?

🔍 Questions for the community:

  • How can femtosecond laser processing be optimized for scalability in battery manufacturing?
  • What are the most promising materials for such anode-free designs, and how does surface engineering impact their performance?
  • Are there existing studies that successfully integrate femtosecond laser microfabrication with practical battery applications?
  • I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts, insights, or references to related work. Let’s brainstorm ways to overcome these challenges and advance the next generation of battery technologies!
