Anode-free refers to a type of battery design that eliminates the traditional anode component, which is typically made of materials like graphite. In anode-free batteries, the anode is replaced with a lithium metal or other conductive material that allows for higher energy density and potentially improved performance. This design can lead to lighter batteries with increased capacity, making them suitable for applications requiring high energy storage, such as in electric vehicles and portable electronics. The term also implies a focus on advancements in battery technology that aim to enhance efficiency and longevity while reducing material costs and environmental impact associated with conventional anodes.
