Beating Back Lithium Battery Self Destruction

November 5, 2019 | Leave a Comment

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures – known as dendrites and whiskers – that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire. Such defects are a major factor holding back the batteries from even more widespread use and further improvement. […]
