Investigating the Interfacial Evolution of Lithium Metal in Anode-Free Batteries with Liquid and Solid-State Electrolytes
… cyclic evolution of Li in solid-state batteries (SSBs). I first focus on investigating Li evolution on bare current collectors using cryogenic focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging paired with electrochemical methods. It is demonstrated that substantial amounts of …
