New insights into metallic cracks that harm battery performance could advance the longstanding quest to develop energy-dense ...
New research has uncovered a surprising cause behind short circuits in next-generation solid-state batteries, ...
Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid ...
Innovative Process Turns Problematic Dendrites into High-Performance and High-Surface Area Cathode Materials for the Grid Scale Saltwater Battery MADISON, WISCONSIN ...
Liquid electrolytes enable fast ion transport but can raise safety concerns, and lithium metal anodes—despite their high capacity—can grow dendrites that trigger short circuits and rapid failure.
Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...
