Direct visualization of initial SEI morphology and growth kinetics during lithium deposition by in situ electrochemical transmission electron microscopy.

چکیده
Deposition of Li is a major safety concern existing in Li-ion secondary batteries. Here we perform the first in situ high spatial resolution measurement coupled with real-time quantitative electrochemistry to characterize SEI formation on gold using a standard battery electrolyte. We demonstrate that a dendritic SEI forms prior to Li deposition and that it remains on the surface after Li electrodissolution.

The morphology and nucleation kinetics of copper islands during electrodeposition
We describe a study, using in situ transmission electron microscopy, of the shape and nucleation kinetics of three-dimensional islands formed during the electrochemical deposition of copper. By operating an electrochemical cell within an electron microscope, we obtain real-time images of the formation of copper islands on a gold electrode while simultaneously recording electrochemical data such...

We report direct visualization of electrochemical lithiation and delithiation of Au anodes in a commercial LiPF6/EC/DEC electrolyte for lithium ion batteries using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The inhomogeneous lithiation, lithium metal dendritic growth, electrolyte decomposition, and solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) formation are observed in situ. These results shed lights on strat...
