One of the challenges battery makers face in improving the life of lithium batteries is dendrites – branch-like structures which form on the electrodes. Dendrites can pierce cell walls or limit ...

They developed a coating that delivers lithium ions to the electrode uniformly, reducing the formation of dendrites and performance-damaging chemical buildup on the anode. Solution processed ...

Dendrites -- fingerlike deposits of lithium metal -- grow from the surface of a battery anode and penetrate the separator between the battery's halves. When this happens the battery can short ...
