Slow surface diffusion on Cu substrates in Li metal batteries
Ingeborg Treu Røe, Sondre K. Schnell
Abstract
Li adatom SDBs are affected by the local crystal structure of the surroundings. Cu substrates introduce vacancies and disorder in the Li metal anode, which increases the adatom SDB and therefore the tendency to form Li dendrites on the surface.
