DESCRIPTION:The Stanford Energy Seminar has been a mainstay of energy engag
 ement at Stanford for nearly 20 years and is one of the flagship programs 
 of the Precourt Institute for Energy. We aim to bring a wide variety of pe
 rspectives to the Stanford community – academics\, entrepreneurs\, utili
 ties\, non-profits\, and more. \n\nAbstract: Work on solid electrolytes fo
 r rechargeable lithium-based batteries is motivated by the potential benef
 its of lithium-metal anodes for a variety of applications\, including elec
 tric vehicles. Dendrite formation has been the key challenge preventing co
 mmercialization of rechargeable lithium-metal batteries\, so establishing\
 , validating\, and improving the dendrite resistance of electrolytes is a 
 key enabler of progress in the field. Typical symmetric cycling tests of L
 i-Li cells introduce operational and theoretical limitations which comprom
 ise the data produced and the conclusions which can be drawn from such tes
 ting. A high-throughput technique for unidirectional critical current dens
 ity testing is presented which has allowed the development of a solid elec
 trolyte capable of withstanding current densities of at least 300 mA cm−
 2. The theoretical and empirical basis for this testing methodology is out
 lined\, results are presented and analyzed\, and best practices for critic
 al current density testing of solid electrolyte materials are proposed.\n\
 nBio: Tim Holme got his BS in Physics and PhD in Mechanical Engineering fr
 om Stanford University. After co-founding QuantumScape in 2010\, he has se
 rved as the CTO where he learns alongside a world-class team dedicated to 
 the mission of making advanced batteries that enable long-range\, high-per
 formance\, mass-market electric vehicles. https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-
