🔋🚗 At the forefront of next generation battery technologies, solid-state batteries using lithium metal anodes could provide a leap forward in the range capabilities of electric vehicles and could even help advance electrically powered aviation. ⚡ However, despite their immense potential, solid-state batteries using lithium metal anodes are limited by their charging speed. The use of a lithium metal anode imposes a strict charging current threshold. If this limit is exceeded, the battery will fail. 📰 Our latest science highlight uncovers the impact of mechanical properties on dendrite formation in solid-state batteries, paving the way for safer and more efficient energy solutions.
