Ion-Depleted Microenvironments During Lithium Deposition Revealed by Operando Freezing Cryogenic Electron Microscopy

Local structures and chemistry at active electrochemical interfaces are critical to determining safety, lifetime, and energy density in lithium metal batteries and other devices, but they are challenging to characterize at the nanoscale. We address this issue by developing operando freezing cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to preserve battery interfaces in an active state for subsequent high-resolution characterization. We find that ion-depleted microenvironments form locally in the electrolyte adjacent to the lithium deposition interface in lithium metal batteries and are linked to heterogenous growth morphologies. These depleted environments arise locally even under conditions for which ion depletion is not predicted at steady state; this provides a mechanistic explanation for why dangerous lithium morphologies can still propagate in such systems and lead to thermal runaway. Operando freezing cryo-EM thus provides a method to directly visualize nanoscale heterogeneities that arise locally at electrochemical interfaces and play key roles in device failure.
