Cryo‐Electron Microscopy for Unveiling the Sensitive Battery Materials

Deep chemical and structural investigation of battery components is increasingly imperative for exploring new electrode materials and their performance iterations for the next‐generation of energy storage devices with high energy density. This is particularly true in the research realm of lithium (L...

description	Deep chemical and structural investigation of battery components is increasingly imperative for exploring new electrode materials and their performance iterations for the next‐generation of energy storage devices with high energy density. This is particularly true in the research realm of lithium (Li) metal and its derivatives for the robust anode.
