A quantitative imaging framework for lithium morphology: Linking deposition uniformity to cycle stability in lithium metal batteries

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 29, July 2025. <br/>SignificanceIn this study, we present a simple yet effective method for quantitatively measuring the uniformity of lithium (Li) plating in lithium metal batteries using a traditionally qualitative technique, scanning electron microscopy. We examine how …
