Description
Jian Wang and co-authors present a battery fluid that revives dead lithium, in this 2026 paper. Lithium metal batteries promise high energy, but spiky growths called dendrites and crusts of dead lithium shorten their life. The team suspended tiny catalytic particles, each holding single cobalt atoms on zinc oxide, in a standard battery fluid.
The particles eased lithium ions out of their solvent shells, so plating came out smooth and dense. Test cells ran sixteen hundred hours, and a full cell kept nearly all its capacity over a thousand cycles in the cold. The authors frame the fluid as a practical route to durable lithium metal cells.
