Abstract
Smart 3D Current Collectors are emerging as one of the most impactful breakthroughs in cell architecture—a technology that finally breaks the limitations of today’s flat foils. This session reveals new data showing how a porous 3D metal structure boosts energy density, charging speed, and manufacturability, including enabling true dry coating. Applicable to any chemistry, this platform opens a scalable path to next-generation, cost-effective batteries and a stronger U.S. supply chain.
