during the cycling. [5] During Li stripping (discharging), Li-ions at the Li/SE interface migrate to the cathode side, and consequently Li atoms inside the bulk move to the Li/SE interface to replenish the Li depletion. [6] Under the high current operation, the Li replenishing rate from the inside of bulk Li to Li/SE layer interface thorough the vacancy diffusion is slower than the rate that Li-ions migrate from the Li surface to the SE layer, which induces the formation of nonhomogeneous voids at the Li/SE interface. [7] These voids cause the contact loss between Li metal and SE layer, which deteriorates the interface resistance and increases the local current density, leading to the Li dendrite formation [8] in the SE layer and poor rate capability. [9] The interlayer between Li metal and SE layer has been widely explored to stabilize the interface and suppress Li dendrite formation. [10] Although these C
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
