Abstract
Formation of Li dendrites is a major safety concern existing in Li-ion secondary batteries. A quantitative electrochemistry method to investigate the dendrite nucleation and growth mechanisms at high spatial is presented. Cyclic voltammetry, in combination with in situ electrochemical transmission electron microscopy (in situ ec-TEM), was used to quantitatively characterize dendrite nucleation and growth mechanisms from a Au working electrode and within a 1.2M LiPF6 EC:DMC electrolyte.
