Fig. 1: Electrochemical behaviors under different Li+ ion concentrations.

Galvanostatic discharge curves with 0.05–2 M electrolytes using (a) disordered electrodes at 0.1 mA cm−2 and (b) visualized electrodes at 300 mA g−1. c The trend of discharge capacity with Li+ ion concentration. Initial voltage plateau using (d) disordered electrodes and (e) visualized electrodes. f Trend of initial voltage plateau with Li+ ion concentration. EIS results using (g) disordered electrodes at a fixed capacity of 1.5 mAh cm−2 and (h) visualized electrodes at a fixed capacity of 4000 mAh g−1. i Comparison of the net Rs and net Rct, where net R is defined as Rdischarged - Rpristine.
