The biggest problem with solid-state batteries may finally be solved
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have identified the mechanism by which lithium dendrites cause solid-state batteries to fail. This discovery could pave the way for more reliable, high-capacity batteries for electric vehicles and portable electronics.
Smartphones, electric vehicles, and countless portable electronics all depend on batteries. As demand for better energy storage grows, improvements in battery capacity, lifespan, and safety will play a major role in the future of electrification. One of the most promising technologies is the solid-state battery, which could allow smartphones to operate for several days on a single charge and give electric vehicles driving ranges up to three times greater than many current models.
