Study identifies main culprit behind lithium metal battery failure; counters conventional wisdom

Green Car Congress

The discovery, published in Nature , challenges the conventional belief that lithium metal batteries fail because of the growth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) between the lithium anode and the electrolyte. The findings could pave the way for bringing rechargeable lithium metal batteries from the lab to the market.
