Revisiting the Electrochemical Lithiation Mechanism of Aluminum and the Role of Li-rich Phases (Li1+xAl) on Capacity Fading

Abstract

Invited for this month′s cover is the group of Stefano Passerini at Helmholtz Institute Ulm. Homepage: http://www.hiu-batteries.de/battery-research-center-in-germany/research/electrochemistry/electrochemistry-for-batteries/. The image shows the puzzling electrochemical (de-)lithiation process of aluminum anode and complex states of aluminum related phase in this course.
