The new study shows indium has two crucial characteristics as a battery anode: an extremely low migration energy barrier, which sets the rate at which ions diffuse in the solid state; and a modest exchange current density, which is related to the rate at which ions are reduced in the anode.

Learn MoreIf the components of a battery, including electrodes, separator, electrolyte and the current collectors can be designed as paints and applied sequentially to build a complete battery, on any arbitrary surface, it would have significant impact on the design, implementation and integration of energy storage devices.
In summary, battery materials can be engineered into paint formulations and simple spray painting techniques can be used to fabricate batteries directly on surfaces of various materials and of different shapes.
Fabrication of batteries by spray painting requires formulation of component materials into liquid dispersions (paints), which can be sequentially coated on substrates to achieve the multilayer battery configuration.
Graphite anode or high voltage cathodes could be used to increase the nominal voltage of paintable batteries ( ∼ 3.6 V for LCO-Graphite cell). However, graphite based Li-ion batteries have safety concerns 14, 17 and LTO was chosen to ensure safer operation due to minimal risk of Li-metal plating if accidentally overcharged.
We also demonstrate the possibility of interconnected modular spray painted battery units to be coupled to energy conversion devices such as solar cells, with possibilities of building standalone energy capture-storage hybrid devices in different configurations.
We chose Lithium Cobalt Oxide [LiCoO 2] (LCO, positive electrode) and Lithium Titanium Oxide [Li 4 Ti 5 O 12] (LTO, negative electrode), for which the effective cell voltage is ∼ 2.5 V 16. Graphite anode or high voltage cathodes could be used to increase the nominal voltage of paintable batteries ( ∼ 3.6 V for LCO-Graphite cell).
