SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anode-free metal batteries offer high energy densities, but suffer from dendritic growth and short circuits, arising from non-uniform metal deposition ...

Figure 1: Scheme of backside-plating configuration for avoiding internal shorts. The reason for the slightly lower Coulombic efficiency in the backside-plating configuration compared with conventional ...

SSBs have gained attention as alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), primarily due to the replacement of flammable liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes (SEs). This change ...

Anode-free metal batteries represent an exciting new design, where prefabricated anodes are eliminated to maximize energy densities. For example, in magnesium (Mg) metal batteries, instead of starting ...

This study is led by Prof. Chuan Wu. Serving as one of the most promising candidates among multivalent metal batteries, rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are endowed with various advantages ...

Now that his new metal-plating system is all polished up and promises to revolutionize many industrial processes, Physicist Donald M. Mattox of Albuquerque’s Sandia Corp. is faced with a persistent ...

A recent study published in Advanced Materials investigates how interfacial adhesion influences lithium (Li) plating behavior in anode-free solid-state batteries (SSBs) that incorporate carbon ...

The researchers employ a facet-oriented Zn metal, with a physicochemically polished surface, minimizing surface energy and surface defects, leading to uniform, horizontal magnesium growth. This ...
