Electro-Chemo-Mechanical Origins of Lithium Dendrite Growth. Schematic illustration of lithium dendrite formation governed by coupled electrochemical, chemical, and mechanical processes. In liquid ...

Dr. Jung-Je Woo from the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), along with Professor Jaephil Cho's research team from Ulsan National Institute of ...

All-solid-state batteries are emerging energy storage solutions in which flammable liquid electrolytes are substituted by solid materials that conduct lithium ions. In addition to being safer than ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...

While burning electric vehicles, exploding e-bikes and melting smartphones no longer make the headlines, the issue of battery safety has yet to be fully resolved. To address this, UBC researchers ...
