Overview

Investigation assesses lithium microstructure's impact on battery performance, highlighting its significance for future technology.

Key Points

  • The research aims to examine how different processing conditions affect lithium microstructure and its performance in batteries.
  • Utilized scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for microstructure analysis.
  • Employed X-ray diffraction (XRD) to evaluate crystallographic texture.
  • Characterized lithium films from thermal evaporation and commercial sources.
  • Conducted electrochemical measurements on lithium metal batteries with various electrolyte types.
  • Evaporated lithium's crystallographic texturing is influenced by substrate properties but grain size and structure vary with film thickness.
  • Significant structural differences found among lithium films from different vendors due to manufacturing variations.
  • Coarse-grained lithium films exhibit better cycling stability under low pressure conditions.
  • A direct correlation between microstructure and performance for commercial lithium sources could not be established.
