Abstract
was attributed to a more homogeneous and conductive interface formed, rather than the bulk electrolyte properties. This experimental methodology for studying metal battery electrodes is transferable to lithium metal and anode-free batteries, and other sustainable battery chemistries such as sodium, magnesium, and calcium.
