Problems solved by technology

The main problem currently existing in lithium metal batteries is that during the process of metal lithium ions being reduced to metal by electrons on the negative electrode, due to the inhomogeneous flow of lithium ion concentration at the solid-liquid phase interface, the concentration of lithium ions in the direction of fast ion transmission is higher, and metal lithium grows. The speed is faster, so it will crystallize to form dendritic lithium metal - "dendritic lithium"
When "dendritic lithium" grows to a certain extent, it will pierce the diaphragm, causing an internal short circuit in the battery, which seriously threatens personal safety.
At the same time, lithium dendrites are easy to fall off into the electrolyte, which causes the battery Coulombic efficiency to decay rapidly after many cycles. These are obviously problems that we need to deal with in the practical application of lithium metal batteries.
