Scientists design electrolyte for lithium metal anodes for use in lithium metal batteries

With the growing demand for electric vehicles, the need for high-safety, long-life batteries also rises. Yet electric vehicles' demand for high energy density batteries outpaces the capabilities of the current lithium-ion batteries. Scientists are looking to develop lithium metal batteries with lithium metal as the anode because these batteries have a much higher charging capacity. However, there are safety issues with lithium-metal batteries because dendrites—spiky, metallic microstructures—form during the charging process.
