New electrolyte promises to rid lithium batteries of short-circuiting dendrites

Dendrites โ€“ thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries โ€“ reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Scientists working at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) of the US Department of Energy claim to have produced a new electrolyte for lithium batteries that not only completely eliminates […]
