Abstract: The present invention provides a lithium metal battery having a lithium metal electrode including a cathode, an anode, a separator positioned between the cathode and the anode, an electrolyte, and a lithium metal negative electrode. The lithium metal negative electrode includes a lithium reactive metal layer, the lithium reactive metal layer being formed on a support conductive layer. A dendrite-suppressing coating is formed over the lithium reactive metal layer; the dendrite-suppressing coating is a displacement-reacted metal including silver reacted from decomposition of a silver salt and having an interface reaction product formed from a reaction between the silver salt and the lithium reactive metal layer. The interface reaction product is positioned between the displacement-reacted metal layer and the lithium reactive metal layer. The dendrite suppressing coating permits lithium metal ions to permeate the coating to react electrolytically in an overall battery reaction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an in situ thermally-curable electrolyte. The thermally-curable electrolyte is cured from the thermally-curable electrolyte precursor solution including a first crosslinking agent, a second crosslinking agent, an initiator, an electrolyte solvent, an electrolyte salt, one or more electrolyte additives, and one or more monomers or a monomer polymerization product. The viscosity of the thermally-curable electrolyte precursor solution is below 200 cps such that the thermally-curable electrolyte precursor solution is infiltrated within the separator and the pores inside the cathode and anode layers then cured to form porous separator and porous electrodes fully permeated with a solid electrolyte.
