Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use remains limited by unstable lithium deposition, dendrite growth, and rapid ...

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 ...

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

Dr. Jung-Je Woo from the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), along with Professor Jaephil Cho's research team from Ulsan National Institute of ...

Scientists in India fabricated a redox flow battery based on zinc and iron that showed strong storage characteristics and no signs of degradation over 30 charge-discharge cycles. The battery also ...

As the race for viable alternatives to lithium-ion technology accelerates, sodium batteries are emerging as one of the front-runners. Earlier this year, battery manufacturing heavyweight CATL unveiled ...

You can read the research paper "Developing tough, fatigue-resistant and conductive hydrogels via in situ growth of metal dendrites" in Materials Horizons, the home for transformative research at the ...

In a breakthrough, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and their collaborators have discovered how next-generation solid-state batteries fail and devised a novel strategy to make ...

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 ...
