Microstructure of Lithium Dendrites Revealed by Room-Temperature Electron Microscopy

Wenbo Zhai et al.

Summary: The uncontrolled deposition/dissolution process of lithium dendrites during electrochemical cycling in batteries limits the large-scale application of Li metal anodes. Investigating the microstructure of Li dendrites is a focal point. In this work, the room-temperature microstructure of Li dendrites was obtained by TEM using both vacuum- and inert-gas-transfer methods. Detailed comparison between LT- and room-temperature (RT)-TEM characterizations was provided to show the pros and cons of each method. By using RT-TEM, microstructural evolution of Li dendrites during the electrodeposition/dissolution process, including increase of the quantity of inorganic Li2O compounds in the solid electrolyte interphase, lateral growth behavior, and two types of inactive Li, has been revealed, enriching the understanding of the structure-property relationship of Li dendrites.

Origin of structural degradation in Li-rich layered oxide cathode

Tongchao Liu et al.

Summary: Utilizing Li- and Mn-rich (LMR) cathode materials can increase battery energy density. However, voltage decay issues impede commercialization. In this study, it is revealed that nanostrain and lattice displacement accumulate continuously during operation, leading to structure degradation and oxygen loss, which cause rapid voltage decay. The heterogeneous nature of LMR cathodes results in pernicious phase displacement/strain. Mesostructural design is proposed as a strategy to mitigate lattice displacement and achieve stable voltage and capacity profiles.

Thermodynamic Factor for Facilitating Homogeneous Dendrite Growth in Alkali Metal Batteries

Gwanghyeon Choi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of disordered-phase energy level (DPEL) in regulating homogeneous growth of alkali metals (AM) during electrochemical deposition. The results showed that Li metal exhibited fluctuating morphologies, while Na and K metals showed smooth surfaces. DPEL is identified as a potential universal design strategy for facilitating homogeneous lithium-metal dendrite growth.

Machine learning force field for Fe-H system and investigation on role of hydrogen on the crack propagation in ?-Fe

Buyu Zhang et al.

Summary: A machine learning force field for Fe-H was developed to investigate hydrogen embrittlement. The simulations revealed that a high concentration of hydrogen enhances crack propagation, and the degree of enhancement depends on the type of grain boundaries. The formation of microvoids ahead of cracks was also observed, which may contribute to crack propagation.

Correlating Kinetics to Cyclability Reveals Thermodynamic Origin of Lithium Anode Morphology in Liquid Electrolytes

David T. Boyle et al.

Summary: The rechargeability of lithium metal batteries depends on the electrolyte, and the uniformity of the Li anode morphology is crucial for their performance. In this study, the authors investigate the correlation between electroplating kinetics and cyclability using various electrolytes, revealing the influence of electrolytes on morphology. They find that fast charge-transfer kinetics at the Li-electrolyte interfaces are associated with uniform morphology and good cyclability, while Li+ transport through the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) weakly correlates with cyclability. The results suggest that the Li/Li+ equilibrium potential and the surface energy, modulated by Li+ solvation, underlie the electrolyte-dependent trends of Li morphology. This work provides insights for electrolyte discovery, kinetics tuning, and understanding the advantages of weakly solvating fluorinated electrolytes for uniform Li plating.

Menghao Yang et al.

Summary: This study conducts atomistic modeling for lithium stripping and plating on solid electrolytes, observing the initiation of interface failure with the formation of nano-sized pores, and the effects of interface structures, lithium diffusion, adhesion energy, and applied pressure on interface failure during lithium cycling. The simulations map the parameter space of applied pressures and interfacial adhesion energies that inhibit interface failure, providing guidance for the selection of solid-state cells and predicting optimal solid interfaces for future research and development of solid-state Li-metal batteries.
