What makes lithium-ion batteries fail? Microscopic metal thorns give leads to scientists
This is the first time that scientists have observed the growth of tiny metal thorns known as dendrites grow within lithium-ion batteries thus making the batteries short-circuit. Their results published Mar. 12 in the journal Science illuminate the hitherto unrecognized mechanical aspects of the lithium dendrites during their development. Lithium dendrites have been the subject […]
