Lithium metal is considered the ultimate anode candidate for next-generation rechargeable batteries because it offers far higher energy density than graphite. Yet widespread adoption remains constrained by a recurring failure mode: during charging, lithium can grow as needle-like dendrites. These structures degrade cycle life, increase impedance, and can raise serious safety concerns, especially under high-rate or long-duration operation. A team…
