Article Synopsis
- Lithium dendrite growth in solid-state electrolytes is a major barrier to developing safe and effective all-solid-state lithium batteries due to the risk of electrolyte fractures.* -
- The study utilizes advanced microscopy techniques to explore the microscopic mechanisms behind these fractures, revealing strain patterns and changes in lattice orientation related to dendrite growth.* -
- Notably, dislocations were observed near dendrite tips, indicating that the mechanical stress from expanding dendrites could cause dislocations, which may influence how dendrites grow and branch.*
Lithium dendrites belong to the key challenges of solid-state battery research. They are unavoidable due to the imperfect nature of surfaces containing defects of a critical size that can be filled by lithium until fracturing the solid electrolyte. The penetration of Li metal occurs along the propagating crack until a short circuit takes place.

Li dendrites are associated with mechanical stress accumulation and can cause cell failure at current densities below the threshold suggested by industry research (i.e.
