Lithium metal enabler for low temperature batteries
Scientists in the United States showed a new course to enhancing battery efficiency. The group integrated a self-assembling layer which bases on the surface of the anode, avoiding the development of dendrites. While their prototype has an extremely brief lifetime, the team is convinced method might bring about better carrying out batteries, and also is specifically encouraging for reduced temperature level applications.
