And the dendrite problem has limited the practical applications for lithium metal batteries thus far. Here’s battery researcher Neil Dasgupta.

Filming the documentary “American Dendrite” took director and producer Adam Marshall Present (Communication ʼ21) all the way to 4th of July celebrations in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The stop ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a breakthrough transfer printing technology that forms protective thin layers on ...

Liquefied gas electrolyte improves lithium-ion anodes “The lithium battery is a system and all its components are interdependent,” says team member Yang He. “Changing the electrolyte to prevent ...

Many have tweaked rechargeable batteries over the years in an attempt to resolve the dendrite problem. In the early 1990s, researchers switched to other materials such as graphite for the anode.

NeuroOmics technology lets researchers label and capture cell-surface proteins in intact, live tissue—opening opportunities to understand complex cellular interactions and future drug targets.

smooth Researchers “heal” destructive dendrite growth in lithium-metal batteries Lithium-ion atoms “melt” back into their metal anode with just the right amount of heat.

Li-metal batteries use metallic lithium instead of graphite as the anode, as it has a 10 times higher theoretical capacity (3,860 mAh/g) than graphite (372 mAh/g). Despite this advantage, lithium ...

Today, the best performing battery in terms of specific energy and specific power is the secondary lithium-metal (Li-metal). However, uncontrolled dendrite growth during Li depositing/stripping in ...
