Modification of lithium electrodeposition behavior by variation of electrode distance

Developing a better understanding and control over the lithium electrodeposition behavior will assist with commercial application of metal anodes for rechargeable batteries. Despite intensive research past decade, our deposition is limited. Here new observation on effect distance between working electrode counter electrochemical reported. From this fundamental investigation distance, high ion concentration regions formed by release ions from modify electrode, resulting in generation non-uniform dendrites thick diversely composed surface film. Alternatively, increasing electrodes results spherical morphology thin LiF rich This study provides deeper correlation separation insight to inhibit dendrite formation.
