i As a result of intensive research to put the secondary battery into practical use, it was clarified that the growth of dendrites was the cause of charging failure, and further research was conducted to find that charging failure by pulse current could overcome charging failure. It was That is, it is possible to prevent the growth of dendrites by charging with a pulse current method that repeats energizing / stopping, and it is possible to commercialize a Li secondary battery with high electromotive force that uses lithium metal as a negative electrode and that can be repeatedly charged without causing defective charging. It will be possible.

Although the details of the mechanism for eliminating the charging failure by the pulse current charging method are not clear, the dendrite grows as a needle-shaped crystalline substance at the initial stage of electrodeposition due to crystallization of the battery-forming component due to energization during charging. It is thought that the growth of the diffusion layer stops before the concentration of dendrite grows to a low level due to the stoppage of energization due to pulse charging, the concentration is made uniform by the next energization, and the diffusion layer disappears. It is considered that the dendrite does not grow because it is repeated every pulse.
