Researchers have developed a new AI model that predicts dendritic growth in thin films, helping optimize thin-film growth processes. Thin films are grown by depositing tiny layers of materials onto a ...

In materials science and electrochemistry, dendrites are branching, tree-like crystal structures that form when atoms or ions deposit on a surface under non-equilibrium conditions. The term derives ...

For many years, in-situ observations of dynamic processes in the electron microscope have been performed. This process began just shortly after the first electron microscopes were invented. Over the ...

Lithium metal batteries offer unmatched energy density by exploiting the high theoretical capacity of lithium metal anodes. However, the uncontrolled formation of dendritic lithium deposits during ...

An international research team involving scientists from the University of Vienna, the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw and Univeristy of Edinburgh has described the process of growing ...

Lithium metal anodes are considered highly promising as anode materials for lithium-based batteries. However, the unavoidable growth of dendrites on the lithium anode leads to issues in advancing the ...
