Fig. 2: Morphology characterization of Li metal under different gravity conditions.
From: Effect of the supergravity on the formation and cycle life of non-aqueous lithium metal batteries

SEM images of deposited Li on Cu after plating 0.5 mA h cm−2 at a 1G or c 50G, and then continues to plate 0.5 mA h cm−2 at b 50G or d 1G. SEM images of deposited Li on Cu after plating 1 mA h cm−2 under e−h parallel and i−k perpendicular supergravity directions. l Schematic illustration of electrodeposition morphology under different gravity conditions. Note that the images inserted in the upper right corner are used to illustrate the corresponding morphological evolution, including a−d sketches drawn and e−k 3D topography from AFM. Scale bars are 5 μm in (a−k).
