An assembly of lithium-based solid anodes to be formed into a lithium-ion battery. The anodes are formed with a fibrous ceramic or polymer framework having open spaces and an active surface material having lithiophilic properties. Open spaces within the fibrous framework and lithiophilic coatings deposited upon the surface of the fibrous framework allow for the free transport of solid lithium-ions within the anodes. In solid-state, lithium batteries can achieve higher capacity per weight, charge faster, and be more durable to extreme handling and temperature. A method for manufacturing a solid-state lithium battery having such an anode.

Disclosed is an anodeless-type all-solid-state battery having a novel structure, which has high energy density and is capable of operating stably.

A porous tin foil anode includes a porous tin foil. A plurality of holes are uniformly formed on the porous tin foil. A triangular area formed by lines connecting centers of three adjacent holes is used as a smallest unit. The proportion of the area of the holes in each smallest unit is 1%-89%. The distance between the edge of the porous tin foil and the hole is 0.1 mm-10 mm. The porous tin foil anode can be applied to a sodium ion battery system that uses tin foil as both a current collector and an anode active material, which effectively solves the problem of battery expansion and alleviates the problem of decomposition of the solid electrolyte membrane during the charge and discharge process of the battery. The short circuiting that occurs because of burrs on the tin foil puncturing the separator is also eliminated.
