Popis: Lithium metal is receiving significant research attention as a potential next generation negative electrode material in lithium ion batteries because it can offer a ~50% increase in cell energy density compared to conventional graphite electrodes. There are, however, a number of mechanical challenges using lithium metal electrodes. Mechanical stack pressure is required to ensure good contact between solid-state electrodes and electrolytes. Moderate to high stack pressures (e.g. < 10 MPa) can also supress void formation during fast charging and discharging. Creep, the plastic deformation of a material under constant pressure, improves battery performance by preventing and filling voids, but can also lead to decreased performance if lithium is unable to sustain the required stack pressure, and potentially cell shorting if lithium is e.g. extruded beyond the current collectors.
