Liquid‐Phase Electrochemical Scanning Electron Microscopy for In Situ Investigation of Lithium Dendrite Growth and Dissolution

Abstract

An in situ electrochemical scanning electronic microscopy method is developed to systematically study the lithium plating/stripping processes in liquid electrolytes. The results demonstrate that the lithium dendrite growth speed and mechanism is greatly affected by the additives in the ether-based electrolyte.
