Reaction-Induced Sintering for Fabrication of Bulk Nanoporous and Composite Metals

Abstract

Over the course of this project, we have accomplished the following, which all fall under the theme of understanding alloying processes in lithium metalalloys: 1. Discovered and investigated spontaneous nanowire and microwire growth from the surface of Li-rich lithium-metal alloys 2. Developed new procedures for creating lightweight metals with tunable porosity via chemical lithium dealloying procedures, taking advantage of reaction induced sintering 3. Investigated the synthesized porous metal monoliths for their energy storage properties 4. Constructed uniaxial pressure cells to measure stress changes in metals within solid-state batteries.
