Lithium (Li) metal is the most promising anode for improving energy density of currently commercialized Li-ion batteries. However, its practical application limited due to high reactivity electrolytes, which induces severe electrolyte decomposition and Li-dendrite growth. Interphases are usually constructed on Li address above issue. Meanwhile, it a big challenge balance stability plating/strip...

Novel composite coatings were fabricated on 6061 aluminum alloy substrates by two steps combining micro-arc oxidation (MAO) plus electroless copper plating (Cu). Different MAO + Cu compared. continuously and evenly covered an oxide surface during processing thus changing the topography. The adhesion of coating was tested pull-out method. best strength can reach industrial requirements. effects ...
