EPR Imaging of Metallic Lithium.
We present a sensitive characterization method to image the microstructure of lithium deposits in lithium-ion battery components by Conduction Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Imaging (CEPRI). The versatility of the method is demonstrated for both, imaging surface-patterns of thick lithium metal anodes, as well as obtaining high-resolution images of lithium dendrites formed inside a separator with several micrometre pixel size. The determined spatial distribution of dendrites may then serve as an indicator of the current density distribution and, therefore, yields most valuable information for battery cell design. Accordingly, this method shows its capabilities in a research area where electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) has not been utilized so far.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
