Engineers solve a mystery on the path to smaller, lighter batteries

Researchers solved a problem facing solid-state lithium batteries, which can be shorted out by metal filaments called dendrites that cross the gap between metal electrodes. They found that applying a compression force across a solid electrolyte material (gray disk) caused the dendrite (dark line at left) to stop moving from one electrode toward the other (the round metallic patches at each side) and instead veer harmlessly sideways, toward the direction of the force.

New materials could enable longer-lasting implantable batteries

Time-lapse series of images shows the new type of battery becoming fully discharged over a period of days. In the process of discharging, the new "catholyte" material in the battery cell gets chemically coverted into a reddish compound, so the color gets darker the more it discharges.
