Abstract

We quantify the effects of the duration of the charge–discharge cycling period on the irreversible loss of anode material in rechargeable lithium metal batteries. We have developed a unique quantification method for the amount of dead lithium crystals (DLCs) produced by sequences of galvanostatic charge–discharge periods of variable duration τ in a coin battery of novel design. We found that the cumulative amount of dead lithium lost after 144 Coulombs circulated through the battery decreases sevenfold as τ shortens from 16 to 2 hours. We ascribe this outcome to the faster electrodissolution of the thinner dendrite necks formed in the later stages of long charging periods. This phenomenon is associated with the increased inaccessibility of the inner voids of the peripheral, late generation dendritic structures to incoming Li+.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
