Illuminating Lithium Deposition
Lithium deposition, or plating, remains a major challenge in advancing lithium-ion batteries. When metallic lithium forms during fast charging or under non-ideal conditions, it can cause dendrites, capacity loss, and safety risks. This groundbreaking study offers fresh insight by directly linking impedance spectroscopy results to electrochemical deposition behavior, providing researchers with a predictive framework to better understand and control plating phenomena.
By connecting impedance signals with changes in morphology and capacity, the authors reveal when and how lithium deposition occurs. Their work identifies spectral features associated with plating onset, evolving interfacial kinetics, and irreversible capacity fade—insights that will guide the design of safer and more durable energy storage systems.
This integration of diagnostics and electrochemical behavior exemplifies the type of innovation that drives battery research forward.
