The study investigates the lithium deposition behaviors on different metallic substrates using in situ micro-nano electrochemical scanning electron microscopy (SEM) manipulation platform. The research reveals distinct lithium deposition behaviors and identifies the factors that contribute to homogeneous lithium plating. The findings shed light on the design of solid-state batteries and provide a powerful SEM platform for future investigations.
The mechanisms of Li deposition behaviors, which overwhelmingly affect battery performances and safety, are far to be understood in solid-state batteries. Here, using in situ micro-nano electrochemical scanning electron microscopy (SEM) manipulation platform, dynamic Li plating behaviors on 10 metallic substrates have been tracked, and the underlying mechanisms for dendrite-free Li plating are elucidated. Distinct Li deposition behaviors on Cu, Ti, Ni, Bi, Cr, In, Ag, Au, Pd, and Al are revealed quantitatively in nucleation densities, growth rates, and anisotropic ratios. For Li alloyable metals, the dynamic Li alloying process before Li growth is visually captured. It is concluded that a good affinity for Li and appropriate lattice compatibility between the substrate and Li are needed to facilitate homogeneous Li plating. Our work not only uncovers the Li plating dynamics, shedding light on the design of solid-state batteries, but also provides a powerful integrated SEM platform for future in-depth investigation of solid-state batteries.
