Abstract:
An in situ electrochemical scanning electronic microscopy method is developed to systematically study the lithium plating/stripping processes in liquid electrolytes. The results demonstrate that the lithium dendrite growth speed and mechanism is greatly affected by the additives in the ether-based electrolyte.
