<italic>In-Situ</italic> Observations of Lithium Dendrite Growth

One of the root causes of lithium battery failure is lithium dendrite formation. Dendrites can result in internal short circuits and ultimately thermal runaway, fires, and explosions. Unfortunately, it has been difficult to study dendrites due to an inability to conduct in-situ observations. This pa...
