In situ study reveals localized lithium plating and stripping dynamics in lithium metal batteries, suggesting design improvements.

The aim is to understand the spatial dynamics of lithium plating and stripping in lithium metal anodes.
Utilized in situ electrochemical AFM to track lithium plating and stripping over three cycles.
Measured slope, height change, and local porosity of lithium anodes.
Focused on few-micrometer-scale regions in the native electrolyte.
Identified clear correlations between height change and domain characteristics.
High-slope, porous regions correlate with smaller height change during stripping.
Dense, low-slope domains experience larger height change, indicating different plating behaviors.
