HOUGHTON, Michigan, Jan. 26 [TNSscientificresearch] -- Michigan Technological University issued the following news:
The formation of lithium dendrites is still a mystery, but materials engineers study the conditions that enable dendrites and how to stop them.
Historically, as in decades ago, rechargeable lithium metal batteries were dangerous. These batteries were quickly abandoned in favor of Li-ion batteries which contain no metallic lithium and are now widely used. I . . .
