Current batteries are limited by their required charging time and achievable range. The US Department of Energy (DOE) developed a Fast-Charge goal of 10 minutes to charge an electric vehicle (EV) battery. However, fast charging current Li-ion batteries can result in Li-metal plating of the carbon-anode and the potential formation of catastrophic lithium dendrite shorts.
