LiBAMA's bi-functional advanced metal anode (AMA) is a hybrid of graphite, lithium metal and 3D electrode technologies directed at adressing the core issue of rechargeable lithium metal batteries. The LiBAMA approach offers a structural solution for dangerous lithium dendrite and its associated problems through mechanical, thermodynamic and kinetic factors. Potentially offering high energy density, low cost, and improved safety -- with cycle life being steadily improved with structure, component and operation optimization - the LiBMA approach offers a drop-in replacement anode for assembly of full batteries, and can be combined with common cathodes, separators and electrolytes, including solid electrolyte. Fully functional, AMA based rechargeable lithium batteries could provide unprecedented power for smart phones, notebooks, tablets, electric vehicles (EVs), drones / electric airplanes, and renewable energy storage.
