The uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites may pierce through polymer separators and induce safety concerns. Our recent work published in Chemical Engineering Journal reveals that in contrast to Monroe-Newman theory, a composite separator with only high Young’s modulus can hardly retard the growth of lithium dendrites, as high ion conductivity also plays a crucial role Read more about Nano architectured halloysite nanotubes enable advanced composite separator for safe lithium metal batteries[…]
