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 ...

Liquid electrolytes enable fast ion transport but can raise safety concerns, and lithium metal anodes—despite their high capacity—can grow dendrites that trigger short circuits and rapid failure.

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

Opportunities in the automotive lithium-ion battery cell market include developing high-capacity EV batteries, solid-state ...

Lithium-ion batteries power a host of everyday electronics, but they can also be a fire hazard. Here are some key warning signs you shouldn't ignore.

The purpose of this guideline is to provide users of lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lithium polymer (LiPo) cells and battery packs with comprehensive information to safely handle them under normal and ...
