For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in ...

Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising technologies for energy storage. They offer significantly more energy in less space—and at a lower weight. However, one phenomenon slows down their ...

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 ...

Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising technologies for energy storage. They offer significantly more energy in less space — and at a lower weight. However, one phenomenon slows down ...

While we make batteries based on many different chemistries, nothing has approached the massive scale at which we can produce ...

Sodium-ion batteries use more abundant raw materials but don’t currently perform as well as those made with lithium.

The development of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology to meet the demanding storage and delivery requirements of energy, industrial, and automotive systems has spurred demand for safer, higher ...
