Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have shed new light on the formation of dendrites in high energy density rechargeable batteries with lithium metal anodes. It is thus not surprising that researchers have used a variety of tools to study dendrite formation in lithium batteries. However, as Xu et al.

Although lithium metal is a promising anode material for Li-ion rechargeable batteries due to its theoretical high capacity (3,860?mAh 1 of graphite anodes), it fails to meet cycle life and safety requirements due to electrolyte decomposition and dendrite formation on the surfaces of the lithium metal anodes during cycling.

IBM and its partners have launched a multi-year research initiative exploring rechargeable Li-air systems: The Battery 500 Project. Only the aprotic configuration of a Li-air battery has shown any promise of electrical rechargeability; hence, this configuration is attracting the most effort to date, according to the authors.

The unit cost of batteries will decline with increased production and development; in addition, the energy storage (in kilowatt-hours) required for a given vehicle range will decline with vehicle load reduction and improved electrical component efficiency. BEVs and PHEVs are likely to use lithium-ion batteries for the foreseeable future.
