Now, researchers at Arizona State University, with colleagues at Rice University, have used a 3-dimensional layer of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), or silicone, as the substrate of lithium metal anode to mitigate dendrite formation. Our findings here provide mechanistic insights into the Li dendrite growth phenomenon.
