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) […]
