Synergistic Improvement of Rate Capability and Lifespan for Lithium-Ion Batteries via Low-Tortuosity Graphite Anode.

Small Methods

August 2025

State Key Laboratory of Advanced Electromagnetic Technology, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430074, China.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in large-scale energy storage. Graphite anodes are pivotal for commercial LIBs, yet lithium plating remains a critical bottleneck, especially in thick electrodes (≥3 mAh cm). Due to lithium plating, there is a trade-off between rate capability and lifespan, making it challenging to improve both simultaneously.
