A new paper from associate professor Jiandi Wan's group in the UC Davis Department of Chemical Engineering, published in Science Advances, proposes a potential solution to dendrite growth in ...

Now, researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, led by Chongmin Wang, have made significant strides in understanding lithium dendrite formation. Using in situ growth studies, they ...

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.

But researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York have proposed a way to ameliorate this dendrite growth. They've done this not by fighting against the dendrites and trying ...

Researchers have developed a new AI model that predicts dendritic growth in thin films, helping optimize thin-film growth processes. Thin films are grown by depositing tiny layers of materials onto a ...

The experiments revealed how changing the electrolyte could potentially reduce dendrite growth. C&EN’s battery master Mitch Jacoby has the scoop on those findings; I’ll put a link to his ...

Linking structure and process in dendritic growth using persistent homology with energy analysis. Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods , 2025; DOI: 10.1080/27660400.2025.2475735 ...

Today, the best performing battery in terms of specific energy and specific power is the secondary lithium-metal (Li-metal). However, uncontrolled dendrite growth during Li depositing/stripping in ...
