New insights into metallic cracks that harm battery performance could advance the longstanding quest to develop energy-dense ...

Researchers have developed a new AI model that predicts dendritic growth in thin films, helping optimize thin-film growth processes. Thin films are grown by depositing tiny layers of materials onto a ...

New research has uncovered a surprising cause behind short circuits in next-generation solid-state batteries, ...

The PCA enabled the team to quantify the structural changes in dendrites and correlate these changes with Gibbs free energy. This relationship revealed the specific conditions and mechanisms that ...

This study is led by Prof. Chuan Wu. Serving as one of the most promising candidates among multivalent metal batteries, rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are endowed with various advantages ...

Researchers reveal how tiny metallic dendrites sabotage solid-state batteries and uncover a path to safer, energy-dense power ...

In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...

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 ...
