A comparison was made between lithium metal films produced via rolling and thermal evaporation using synchrotron hard X-ray microtomography. The study found that the evaporated lithium metal films had a much lower impurity concentration compared to the rolled lithium metal films. The analysis of the film interfaces further emphasized the importance of interface engineering in producing high-quality lithium metal batteries.
Here, we present a comparison of lithium metal films produced via rolling and thermal evaporation using synchrotron hard X-ray microtomography. In past studies of rolled lithium metal foils, a large number of C, O, and N impurities were found and identified as the key cause for failure in lithium metal cells. In this comparison, the X-ray tomography data show that the evaporated lithium metal films have an average impurity concentration of 19 particles/mm(3) in comparison to 1350 particles/mm(3) in the rolled lithium metal. An analysis of the inner substrate/lithium interface and outer lithium surface of the thermally evaporated film shows a much greater concentration of impurities at these interfaces, further emphasizing the importance of interface engineering in producing high-quality lithium metal batteries. We show that, if surface contamination can be avoided, it is possible to obtain lithium films with no impurities detectable by synchrotron hard X-ray tomography.
