Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use ...

These issues often stem from material limitations, including poor ion transport, unstable electrode interfaces, and dendrite formation in metal-based anodes. Overcoming these barriers requires ...

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 ...

Solid-state Li-ion batteries are considered the next big thing for electric vehicles, but they form mysterious, branch-like metallic filaments, called dendrites, that can quickly compromise them. MIT ...

A new discovery could finally usher the development of solid-state lithium batteries, which would be more lightweight, compact, and safe than current lithium batteries. The growth of metallic ...

The field of battery research is riddled with roadblocks and bottlenecks, but there is one problem that rears its head more than most. Branch-like growths called dendrites continue to plague next-gen ...

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 ...

Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

Lithium metal anodes are considered highly promising as anode materials for lithium-based batteries. However, the unavoidable growth of dendrites on the lithium anode leads to issues in advancing the ...

Lithium metal batteries are one of the more promising alternatives to the lithium-ion architecture commonly used today, with the potential to hold many times the energy. Material scientists have taken ...
