Figure 1: Scheme of backside-plating configuration for avoiding internal shorts. The reason for the slightly lower Coulombic efficiency in the backside-plating configuration compared with conventional ...

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anode-free metal batteries offer high energy densities, but suffer from dendritic growth and short circuits, arising from non-uniform metal deposition ...

SSBs have gained attention as alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), primarily due to the replacement of flammable liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes (SEs). This change ...

Anode-free metal batteries represent an exciting new design, where prefabricated anodes are eliminated to maximize energy densities. For example, in magnesium (Mg) metal batteries, instead of starting ...

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SS-LMBs) exhibit higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, the use of lithium metal as an anode in large-scale manufacturing remains ...

A new study introduces a simple molecular-engineering strategy that dramatically improves the reversibility of zinc plating ...

How do you make old rusty hardware like new again without having to visit a plating shop or buy new fasteners? This process can be performed at home with Eastwood's Tin-Zinc Electroplating System. It ...

A recent study published in Advanced Materials investigates how interfacial adhesion influences lithium (Li) plating behavior in anode-free solid-state batteries (SSBs) that incorporate carbon ...

The researchers employ a facet-oriented Zn metal, with a physicochemically polished surface, minimizing surface energy and surface defects, leading to uniform, horizontal magnesium growth. This ...
