In-depth Investigation of Lithium Dendrite Formation Processes

电池失效主要是由于不可控的锂枝晶形成。本项目旨在利用一种新型原位透射电镜细胞来研究锂枝晶的基本形成机制。该项目预计将建立一个新的装置，能够同时进行锂枝晶生长的原位电学和纳米力学测量。本项目旨在揭示商用石墨电极上不同的表面修饰对锂枝晶生长的影响。该项目的成功将导致对锂枝晶形成机制的基本理解，从而使构建更安全的电池成为可能。

Battery failure is mainly derived from uncontrollable lithium dendrite formation. This project aims to investigate fundamental lithium dendrite formation mechanism by utilizing a novel in-situ transmission electron microscopy cell. This project expects to build a new set up which is capable of simultaneous in-situ electrical and nanomechanical measurements of lithium dendrite growth. This project aims to reveal how lithium dendrite growth is affected by different surface modifications on the commercial graphite electrodes. The success of the project will lead to a fundamental understanding of the lithium dendrite formation mechanism, enabling the construction of significantly safer batteries.
