Description
Munekazu Motoyama and a team of co-authors watch lithium form at a battery interface, live under a microscope, in two thousand twenty-four. Controlling how lithium starts and grows is key to metal batteries that can be recharged many times. Gold alloy layers lower the push needed for lithium to start, but the alloying step itself was unclear.
Using a microscope that can tell apart heavy and light elements and surface shape, they saw uneven processes at the interface. Some lithium dissolved again even as more was being laid down. Lithium seemed to start as an unstable phase inside the alloy film. That spread the growth sites out, which could help even wear.
