Abstract:
The transition from 3D to 2D lithium deposition can be achieved with low Li-ion concentrations by forming a multitude of lithium nuclei on the lithium surface prior to the deposition using a nucleation pulse followed by pulsed galvanostatic deposition. Under these conditions, homogeneous lithium metal deposition is favored by the diffusion-controlled mass transfer to the nuclei-enriched surface.
