TL;DR: In this paper, an internal short circuiting device was used for controlled, on-demand, initiation of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, allowing analysis of the nucleation and propagation of failure within 18 650 cells through the use of high-speed X-ray imaging at 2000 frames per second.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed two novel charging strategies for lithium-ion batteries, designed to prevent the onset of lithium plating when the cells are charged at low ambient temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stable and flexible pore network is generated to maximize and maintain Li-ion flux throughout the electrode's architecture by incorporating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with carboxylate organic linkers into Si-based anodes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors fabricated and demonstrated a functional, stable electrode structure for a high capacity Li-ion battery (LIB) anode, which achieved uniform and hybrid crystalline-amorphous Si nanowire growth via a vapour-liquid-solid mechanism using a Sn metal catalyst.

TL;DR: In this article, the reversible part of the plated lithium providing a unique cell voltage relaxation profile is used as a pseudo-measure to detect the onset of plating, while the cell is at rest and under a low C-rate discharge regime immediately after charging.
