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 ...

Researchers reveal how tiny metallic dendrites sabotage solid-state batteries and uncover a path to safer, energy-dense power ...

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

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid ...

NJBIZ, New Jersey’s leading business journal, provides 24/7 business news coverage and events honoring top business professionals.

Solid-state lithium metal batteries could deliver higher energy density and improved safety, but polymer electrolytes often force a trade-off: materials that conduct ions well can be too soft to block ...

Dendrite branching has an important role in normal brain function. Here we report that overexpression of cypin, a protein that has guanine deaminase activity and is expressed in developing processes ...

Lithium is regarded as a vastly superior electrode material due to its capacity (3860 mA•h•g-1) and the lowest negative electrochemical potential (-3.040 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode). Today, ...

Researchers at the Next-Generation Battery Research Center of Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) developed a 1D Li-confinable porous carbon structure with a hollow core, and a small ...

Lithium metal batteries have higher charge density than conventional lithium ion batteries but are prone to problems of tree-like metal dendrites, which can cause short circuits or explosions. A new ...
