Exploring the Inhomogeneous Nature of Li Intercalation and Li Plating on Graphite Anodes—An Experimental Study Combining Inert Gas High‐Resolution Light Microscopy with Colorimetric and Machine Learning‐Based Image Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Graphite anode lithiation and lithium plating are explored using high‐resolution light optical microscopy under inert gas atmosphere. Colorimetric analysis and machine learning reveal lithiation stages depending on C‐rate and state‐of‐charge. With increasing C‐rate, heterogeneity of lithiation increases, resulting in up to three phases coexisting in ...
