Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

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 ...

Brown University researchers have demonstrated a promising new strategy for combatting dendrite penetration in solid state lithium batteries. By heating one side of a solid electrolyte and cooling the ...

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