Potassium fluoride (KF) prevents dendrite growth, while zinc (Zn) nanocrystals enhance conductivity and ion transport. This dual-layer interface stabilizes the anode, allowing smooth ion and ...

Citation: New proteomic technique reveals secrets of dendrite development (2022, October 19) ...

Near the dendrite, the local orientation differed from the surrounding material, indicating that the lattice distortion and curvature around the dendrite were distinct from the matrix. The rocking ...

Researchers “heal” destructive dendrite growth in lithium-metal batteries Lithium-ion atoms “melt” back into their metal anode with just the right amount of heat.

Many have tweaked rechargeable batteries over the years in an attempt to resolve the dendrite problem. In the early 1990s, researchers switched to other materials such as graphite for the anode.
