Lead researcher James Tour said that nanotube films effectively stops
dendrites that grow from unprotected lithium metal anodes in batteries, and over time, can pierce the battery's electrolyte core and reach the cathode, eventually resulting in a battery failure.
Summary: TEHRAN (FNA)- Neuroscientists have discovered that human
dendrites have very different electrical properties from those of other species.
A standout, dramatic example shows photographs of
dendrites on nerve cells.
Morphological indicators of structural plasticity were considered: (i) the maximal
dendrite length, (ii) the number of primary
dendrites, and (iii) the soma area [16].
The malfunctions are often caused by
dendrites, tiny tendril-like formations that build up over time and force through electrode separators, connecting the two sides and igniting highly-flammable electrolyte solutions.
Thus, a statistically generated, continuous network of flaky
dendrites comprising cement hydrates growing from partially hydrated cement grains is the background solid structure of the cementitious material in nanoscale.
