“…USANS and SANS data for lithium in the cell before and after 2 cycles at 20 mA cm −2 are shown in Figure 2D. Subtraction of inactive components does not substantially change the scattering after cycling (Figure S5B, Supporting Information) as a result of the order of magnitude increase of scattering from lithium, this being a larger increase than previously reported using in situ SANS for lithium metal cells, [ 13b,14 ] possibly as a result of the relatively higher current density. The transmission of neutrons through the cell in the USANS region decreased substantially after cycling (Table S1, Supporting Information) as a result of this increased coherent scattering, while attenuation from absorption and incoherent processes remained constant, as expected.…”
