Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, powering everything from cellphones and laptops to electric vehicles. They're also notorious for overheating or catching fire.

Weiyu Li, a mechanical engineering assistant professor, used a computational model to explain lithium plating, per a news release. The phenomenon involves the development of lithium on the surface ...

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a cornerstone of sustainable transportation, but their widespread adoption faces a critical safety challenge: lithium plating in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs ...

Research on anode-less solid-state lithium metal batteries reveals how metal interlayers influence lithium plating stability and electrochemical performance.

Lithium plating damages batteries, shortens their lifespan and can be dangerous. New research has found a way to prevent it, resulting in faster charging for electric vehicles.

This knowledge could lead to fast-charging lithium-ion batteries that are safer and longer-lasting. The mechanisms that trigger lithium plating, until now, have not been well understood.
