MIT engineers find battery dendrites grow faster under low stress, defying old theories
New research has uncovered a surprising cause behind short circuits in next-generation solid-state batteries, challenging long-held assumptions in the field. For years, researchers believed ...
Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a persistent challenge for the world's most widely used form of energy storage.
The PCA enabled the team to quantify the structural changes in dendrites and correlate these changes with Gibbs free energy. This relationship revealed the specific conditions and mechanisms that ...
