longer lifespan by creating metal electrode directly inside battery cell, avoiding dendrite formation during charging/ discharging... longer cycle life, more stable, safer... metal produced electrochemically through electroplating... voltage drives electrons to electrode, forming metal on electrode's surface by electron reaction with ions from electrolyte... when recharged, it is through this reaction, same process produces metal electrode directly in battery... better and more stable surface layer"
