Abstract

Lithium plating in graphite electrodes is a side reaction that prevents the fast charging of Li-ion batteries. Understanding its mechanism and onset condition is critical for effective material design, cell engineering, and battery management to realize fast charging. This work revealed the lithium plating mechanism on single graphite particles by combining in situ experiments with theory and simulation.
