First In‑Cell Glimpse of Lithium Dendrites Growing and Snapping Points a Way to Safer Batteries
Researchers have, for the first time, observed lithium dendrites growing and fracturing inside an operating battery cell, revealing mechanical behaviors that explain intermittent shorting and capacity loss. Published in Science and led by teams including Rice University and Nanyang Technological University, the work improves understanding of a key safety risk and points to targeted engineering and materials solutions.
China Issues 88 Mandatory Auto-Safety Standards, Tightening Rules for EV Batteries and Autonomous Features
China has issued 88 mandatory national standards targeting vehicle safety, tightening requirements for EV batteries and introducing compulsory rules for automatic emergency braking and in-vehicle emergency calls. The reforms aim to raise safety baselines as the country’s auto production and NEV market expand, but will raise compliance costs and influence who can compete in China’s rapidly evolving EV and autonomous-driving sectors.
