Lithium dendrite is a metallic structure that can grow in lithium-ion batteries. When the battery is overcharged or charged at low temperature, the lithium ions will not intercalate but deposit on the anode surface as lithium dendrites. The growth of lithium dendrites will consume the electrolyte and active lithium content which lead to a decrease of battery capacity and put a potential risk of internal short circuit.
