Fig. 8

a Ragone plot comparing the specific power vs. energy for a variety of electrode microstructures in lithium metal half-cell (grey: 50 μm electrode; green: 75 μm electrode; yellow: graded particle; light blue: graded pore; pink: high porosity). The specific energy is obtained by integrating the discharge curve to the cut-off voltage (3 V) and the specific power is obtained by dividing the specific energy with the total discharge time; b maximum accessible specific capacity as a function of C-rate for different microstructures. The inset figures compare the spatial distribution of SoL under different conditions, corresponding to the numbers on the curve respectively. The scale bar in (a) represents 20 μm.
