Rice University scientists have developed a detection system capable of alerting for Li dendrite formation in a two?electrode electrode battery with a Li metal anode with no additional electrodes required. Li metal batteries are considered the next-generation technology because of their high energy density and power density.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries are of great interest as potential “beyond Li-ion” systems for extended electric vehicle range. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ). Right now it leads to uncontrollable events. Earlier post.) Earlier post.)
