Rice team shows that thin nanotube films stop dendrite growth from Li metal anodes

Green Car Congress

The Rice University lab of chemist James Tour has shown that thin nanotube films effectively stop dendrites that grow naturally from unprotected lithium metal anodes in batteries. An illustration shows how lithium metal anodes developed at Rice University are protected from dendrite growth by a film of carbon nanotubes.
