A team led by Professor Jeff Dahn at Dalhousie University with colleagues from Tesla Canada R&D and the University of Waterloo, demonstrated an anode-less Li-metal cell fabricated using dual-salt electrolyte (1 M lithium difluoro(oxalate) borate (LiDFOB) and 0.2 M lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) in a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC): diethyl carbonate (DEC) solvent). Replacing the conventional graphite anode with lithium metal is one of the most popular approaches (to improve energy density), as this can increase the cell energy density by 40–50%.
