Lithium-ion batteries are now widely used in mobile devices, but their lifespan is not long, and they lose about 1/5 of their capacity after 500 charging cycles. In order to study the reasons for the degradation of lithium-ion battery performance, scientists at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in the United States successfully observed the real-time charging and discharging status of lithium-ion batteries using a powerful microscope. The researchers found that the battery generates stress during use and causes the electrodes to crack. In addition, each charge and discharge cycle leaves traces of lithium outside the electrode. These "dead" lithium can no longer play a role in future charges and will cause the battery capacity to decrease. The researchers also observed the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase layer on the electrode surface, which can "block" the battery and affect its charging ability. One way to solve these problems with lithium batteries is to use other alternative elements. In the future, metal elements such as magnesium, aluminum or copper may become cheaper and more stable alternatives, but the performance of these batteries is not yet up to the level of lithium batteries.
