STUTTGART — The long-standing mechanical barrier separating solid-state lithium batteries from mass automotive adoption has finally been breached. In findings published Wednesday in Nature Energy, researchers at the Max Planck Institute demonstrated an electro-ceramic separator that self-heals micro-fractures before lithium dendrites can cause short circuits.
