Indian researchers find way to stop dendrites in solid-state lithium batteries – pv magazine Australia

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, have found that nanoscopic refractory metal layers like tungsten could improve dendrite growth tolerance in electrolytes of solid-state Li-ion batteries. The team collaborated with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University. June 29, 2022 Bella Peacock A liquid electrolyte-based Li-ion battery with a lithium anode (left) could be susceptible to battery fires. By contrast, the solid-state Li-ion battery with a lithium anode is safe and charge faster with the lithium insoluble interlayer approach proposed by the researchersImage: PIB, Govt of IndiaSolid-state Li-ion batteries with lithium anodes offer higher energy densities and are safer than conventional liquid electrolyte-based Li-ion batteries. However, a long-standing challenge with solid-state batteries is the growth of lithium dendrites across the solid-state…
