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 ...

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use remains limited by unstable lithium deposition, dendrite growth, and rapid ...

For many years, in-situ observations of dynamic processes in the electron microscope have been performed. This process began just shortly after the first electron microscopes were invented. Over the ...

Lithium metal anodes are considered highly promising as anode materials for lithium-based batteries. However, the unavoidable growth of dendrites on the lithium anode leads to issues in advancing the ...

They published their work on Sep. 12 in Energy Material Advances. "The great electrochemical phase-field simulation efforts devoted to exploring the dendrite growth mechanism under the temperature ...

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 ...

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 ...
