Three-dimensional visualization of lithium metal anode via low-dose cryogenic electron microscopy tomography
Summary: The structure of lithium (Li) metal anode, including the Li metal and the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), is critical to the investigation of cycle stability or decay mechanisms. The three-dimensional (3D) visualization of Li metal and SEI, however, has not been demonstrated yet, owing...
