Direct observation of internal short circuits by lithium dendrites in cross-sectional lithium-ion in situ full cells
New work from ZSW, a TEESMAT partner
Li metal deposition is one of the most common aging mechanisms in Lithium-Ion Batteries. Li metal is deposited in dendritic structures, which might cause an internal short circuit (ISC). Using a novel cross-sectional in situ optical microscopic method, Hogrefe et al. directly observed Li deposition and ISC in Li-ion full cells. Four different cases, (i) […]

Phasing out primary batteries will go against Green Deal
18/09/2020
+ Read morePrimary batteries are an indispensable part of our daily lives and can last years, especially in devices with a low energy demand. That’s why they should not be considered as single-use products. In addition, primary batteries have a better eco-balance versus rechargeables in low-drain devices. The European Commission is currently reviewing the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC […]
