The proposed crystallographic control strategy promotes uniform metal growth, suppressing dendrite formation in anode-free metal batteries

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anode-free metal batteries offer high energy densities, but suffer from dendritic growth and short circuits, arising from non-uniform metal deposition. To address this, researchers from South Korea have developed a new facet-driven metal plating strategy that employs a facet-oriented zinc (Zn) host with a physicochemically polished surface to ensure uniform, horizontal Mg growth during plating, preventing dendrite formation and improving stability.
