Directing lateral growth of lithium dendrites in micro-compartmented anode arrays for safe lithium metal batteries

The formation of lithium dendrites remains a great challenge to lithium metal batteries. Here the authors show an anode design to laterally direct the dendrite growth inside the compartments, providing a feasible post-mortem solution to batteries with lithium dendrites already present.
