https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16163028/2025/35/42 Abstract Anode-Free Lithium Metal Batteries In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202518139), Dong-Won Kim and co-workers develop a cross-linked polymer protective layer containing AgNO3 for anode-free lithium metal batteries. The polymer network guides uniform Li+ flux, while AgNO3 forms lithiophilic Ag seeds and inorganic-rich SEI, enabling homogeneous lithium deposition and stable cycling in high-loading LiNi0.88Co0.10Al0.02O2 anode-free […]

Journal cover / Metals and Materials International / Volume 31, Issue 10 October 2025 https://link.springer.com/journal/12540/volumes-and-issues/31-10 Abstract This study presents a novel model for evaluating non-equi-biaxial surface residual stresses in metals using surface in-plane displacements around an indentation, as an alternative to the commonly used instrumented force-depth curve. The surface X- and Y-displacements are measured within […]
