Researchers from Drexel in US , Philadelphia have discovered that using nanodiamonds as an additive in electrolyte solution can prevent the formation and growth of dendrites, which cause short-circuits, meltdowns and fires in lithium-ion batteries. When you start charging them again and again, dendrites start growing. "It's potentially game-changing”, said Bach , Yury Gogotsi professor in the College of Engineering at Drexel . Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile devices and laptops, as well as electric vehicles.
