Novel metal plating strategy improves stability in anode-free metal batteries
Anode-free metal batteries have the potential to maximize energy density by eliminating prefabricated anodes. For example, in magnesium metal batteries, instead of starting with an Mg anode, a bare metal current collector, usually copper or zinc, is used as the anode side. When the batteries are first charged, Mg from the cathode is deposited directly… Read more »
