All-solid-state batteries are emerging energy storage solutions in which flammable liquid electrolytes are substituted by solid materials that conduct lithium ions. In addition to being safer than ...

Solid-state batteries offer many advantages over their counterparts that use liquid electrolytes. They are inherently safe, thanks to the fact that the electrolyte is not flammable, and they can store ...

This study is led by Prof. Chuan Wu. Serving as one of the most promising candidates among multivalent metal batteries, rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are endowed with various advantages ...

New research by Brown University engineers identifies a simple strategy for combating a major stumbling block in the development of next-generation solid-state lithium batteries. Subscribe to our ...

The field of battery research is riddled with roadblocks and bottlenecks, but there is one problem that rears its head more than most. Branch-like growths called dendrites continue to plague next-gen ...

In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...

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 ...
