Detsi's group is using these metals to develop electrodes that shift between liquid and solid states to avoid damage during charge cycles while still being easy to manufacture.

"When the material is in the solid phase, it will start degrading due to the huge volume changes occurring during charge storage," says Detsi. "However, when the material transforms from solid to liquid, it 'heals' itself by recovering from volume-change-induced degradation."
