Abstract
Lithium batteries, including lithium-metal-anode based and Li-ion (using, e.g., graphite-anode based) batteries, offer significant performance advantages over their predecessors such as nickel–cadmium and lead–acid in terms of high energy and power density, longer storage life, and greater cycling stability. However, both liquid-electrolyte-based and solid-electrolyte-based lithium batteries suffer from performance and safety issues due to lithium dendrite formation and growth during operation. There have been intense research and development (R&D) efforts on the mechanism and remediation of lithium dendrite formation and growth for both types of lithium batteries. This chapter describes lithium dendrite formation/growth phenomenon, lithium dendrite characterization, and strategies of lithium dendrite prevention/mitigation to unlock the full potential of lithium batteries.
