Zero excess lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have traditionally suffered from short cycle life due to nonuniform processes that result in parasitic side reactions and a subsequent loss of lithium inventory and electrolyte. The experiments herein demonstrate that zero excess LMB cells cycled with a low thermal average and thermal gradient outperform cells cycled under isothermal conditions during early cycles. Specifically, a low thermal average of ∼6.4°C and thermal gradient of 4C) and mismatched charge/discharge rates. Optimal cycling behavior was observed with 2C charging (30 min) and 3C discharging (20 min). These advantages were translated to the system relevant form factor-pouch cell (20X capacity). Based on the performance enhancement observed with extended application of a thermal gradient, we demonstrate the use of the environment as a formation strategy, to perpetuate improved plating in stripping over the cycle life of zero excess LMBs operating in ambient conditions. |
