Abstract:A multivalent successor to lithium ion batteries will likely incorporate a metal anode. However, many electrodeposition processes are prone to energy losses from side reactions and overpotentials for plating or stripping. To develop a link between the kinetics of crystal growth/dissolution with electrochemical data, we have followed electrodeposition of Mg and Zn with operando x-ray diffraction using a variety of electrolytes and current collectors. In some cases we find that alloying or passivation competes w… Show more
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.
