“…Recently, Zhang et al 93 described the Li dendrites growth with various conductive structures by using phase-field model. Xu et al 94 first studied the adhesion effect of lithium dendrites between the interface layer and lithium metal and they found that enhanced adhesion energy can help inhibit the growth of Li dendrite. Chen et al 95 investigated the thermal effect on the Li dendrites growth.…”

Rechargeable batteries have a profound impact on our daily life so that it is urgent to capture the physical and chemical fundamentals affecting the operation and lifetime. The phase-field method is a powerful computational approach to describe and predict the evolution of mesoscale microstructures, which can help to understand the dynamic behavior of the material systems. In this review, we briefly introduce the theoretical framework of the phase-field model and its application in electrochemical systems, summarize the existing phase-field simulations in rechargeable batteries, and provide improvement, development, and problems to be considered of the future phase-field simulation in rechargeable batteries.

“…Generally, the main issue with Li‐metal/NMC batteries is the steady polarization increase leading to poor capacity retention. However, in the studies of Pathak et al ., and Xu et al ., [53,54] the replacement of bare Li with Sn‐ or Al‐protected Li anodes mitigates this increase in polarization and improves the capacity retention of the NMC full cell. This is related to a more stable lithium plating/stripping process with the coated electrode than with bare Li.…”

The current revival of lithium metal batteries (LMB) has been driven by both the search for high energy‐density systems and the development of solid‐state batteries. Lithium electrode surface engineering is crucial to limit both the dendritic growth and the electrolyte reduction. Among the various strategies to obtain protecting layers, there has been a recent growing interest in metal coatings forming alloys with lithium. Here, various strategies to coat lithium and other metal electrodes (sodium, potassium and magnesium) are reviewed and discussed with respect to their efficiency, versatility, and their possible practical transfer to the battery industry.

“…To date, various methods aiming to engineer the electrode—electrolyte interface have been shown to be effective in optimizing the SEI layer and suppressing lithium dendrite growth. Strategies include optimizing electrolyte composition, [ 151 ] using additives, [ 152 ] constructing an artificial SEI, [ 153,154 ] use of graphene, [ 155 , 156 ] or covalent organic framework protection layers, [ 157 ] and lowering anode roughness and stress.

Although lithium, and other alkali ion, batteries are widely utilized and studied, many of the chemical and mechanical processes that underpin the materials within, and drive their degradation/failure, are not fully understood. Hence, to enhance the understanding of these processes various ex situ, in situ and operando characterization methods are being explored. Recently, electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC‐AFM), and related techniques, have emerged as crucial platforms for the versatile characterization of battery material surfaces. They have revealed insights into the morphological, mechanical, chemical, and physical properties of battery materials when they evolve under electrochemical control. This critical review will appraise the progress made in the understanding batteries using EC‐AFM, covering both traditional and new electrode–electrolyte material junctions. This progress will be juxtaposed against the ability, or inability, of the system adopted to embody a truly representative battery environment. By contrasting key EC‐AFM literature with conclusions drawn from alternative characterization tools, the unique power of EC‐AFM to elucidate processes at battery interfaces is highlighted. Simultaneously opportunities for complementing EC‐AFM data with a range of spectroscopic, microscopic, and diffraction techniques to overcome its limitations are described, thus facilitating improved battery performance.
