Beyond Liquid: The Rise of Semi-Solid Batteries

Liquid-state lithium-ion batteries reign supreme in the world of power, powering everything from tiny smartwatches to hefty electric vehicles. While they’ve revolutionized portability and convenience, they come with two main drawbacks: flammability and dendrite growth.

Flammable electrolytes pose a safety risk, and over time, dendrites (needle-like structures) can form within the liquid, shortening battery life.
