Lithium-metal batteries, utilizing metallic lithium as the anode, are seen as the future of rechargeable batteries. Contrary to common belief that resting these batteries leads to degradation and reduced charge capacity, a study in Nature by Zhang et al. reveals that electrically isolated lithium metal can reestablish connection with the anode post-calendar ageing of discharged batteries. This finding challenges existing notions about battery performance and offers insights into potential restoration methods.
