A Fluid Solution to Dendrite Growth in Lithium Metal Batteries (IMAGE)
Caption
Lithium metal batteries are prone to growth of metal dendrites that can cause batteries to short or explode. Engineers at UC Davis show that a crossflow of ions near the cathode can prevent this problem. In this figure, increasing the flow rate over the electrode reduced the growth of dendrites on the surface.
