Abstract
Rechargeable battery cells and methods for extreme fast charging are disclosed. For example, such a rechargeable battery cell might be chargeable to at least 70% of usable capacity within 15 minutes. Such a rechargeable battery cell may include an anode having at least one surface with a reversible areal capacity, after formation, up to 8.0 mAh/cm2, and a cathode having at least one surface with a reversible areal capacity, after formation, up to 6 mAh/cm2, wherein a ratio of areal capacity of the at least one surface of the anode to the at least one surface of the cathode is between 1.15 to 1.45. Methods of charging rechargeable battery cells disclosed herein under conditions sufficient to enable charging of at least 70% of usable capacity to the rechargeable battery cell within 15 minutes, are also disclosed.
