The growth mechanism of lithium dendrites and its coupling to mechanical stress
Julian Becherer, Dominik Kramer, Reiner Mönig
Abstract
Lithium structures grow at crystalline defects. At room temperature, growth is driven by facile surface and grain boundary diffusion and the subsequent insertion into defects. Mechanical stresses can generate defects and stimulate growth.
