See Through Batteries | Neil Dasgupta | MichEpedia

In order to better understand efficiency-reducing dendrites, the metal wire forming phenomenon that consumes electrolytes while new generation lithium metal batteries are charging, researchers have developed a visualization cell as a “window” to look inside the potentially explosive process. For the first time, high resolution video is able to capture surface activity as the lithium metal battery cycles through while comparisons to the chemical changes can be made in real time. This may lead to the expansio
