Brittle, microscopic structures called dendrites form in lithium-ion batteries and can disrupt battery performance. Unlike bulk lithium, which is pliant and supple, dendrites fracture under stress.

Over time, batteries break down. Studying this process in-depth with imaging techniques may help us improve the lifespan of batteries. Many of the devices that make modern life convenient and ...

A recent study published in Advanced Sustainable Systems introduced a data-driven method for designing better electrolytes for lithium metal batteries (LMBs). The framework combines computer ...

Lightweight lithium metal is a heavy-hitting critical mineral, serving as the key ingredient in the rechargeable batteries that power phones, laptops, electric vehicles and more. As ubiquitous as ...
