Abstract
This specification formalizes an open-source, non-perturbative engineering framework to mitigate interfacial ion crowding and dendrite nucleation in solid-state lithium metal batteries. Traditional high-rate energy storage architectures face a catastrophic failure mode under rapid charging loads: localized space-charge polarization creates extreme ion-density gradients, triggering morphological degradation and crystalline dendrite spikes that puncture solid electrolytes and short-circuit the cell.
This framework resolves this material bottleneck by deploying localized, high-frequency Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) streaming fields. By treating the boundary-layer electrolyte interface as an active 2D fluid transport membrane operating at a strict coordinate baseline (z=0), the system introduces continuous acoustic shear forces that counteract space-charge gradients. This configuration suppresses electrodeposition instabilities, eliminates dendritic nucleation sites, and enforces a uniform 2D planar deposition topology across the lithium metal anode without requiring chemical additive stabilizers.
