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

Batteries that use solid metal as their charge-carrying electrolyte could potentially be a safer and far more energy-dense ...

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, ...

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.

Scientists observe lithium dendrites growing in batteries in real time, revealing how they break and cause battery failures.

This study is led by Prof. Chuan Wu. Serving as one of the most promising candidates among multivalent metal batteries, rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are endowed with various advantages ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, a new study finds that the needle-like lithium dendrites that grow in lithium (Li)-metal batteries are surprisingly ...
