TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive assessment of the strain-rate and length-scale dependent mechanical properties of Li in its most commonly used form: high purity commercial foil.

TL;DR: In this article, a phase map characterized by disparate morphologies spanning the range from fractal aggregates of 2D nanoplatelets to highly anisotropic dendrites with singular growth fronts and nanowires entangled in the form of mats is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined electrochemomechanical properties of metal anodes and demonstrate an effective semi-solid electrode approach at practically relevant conditions, and demonstrated two electrode architectures in which the presence of a liquid phase enables high current densities while preserving shape retention and packaging advantages of solid electrodes.

TL;DR: Sodium metal holds promise as an anode material for rechargeable batteries due to its large theoretical charging capacity, low electrochemical potential, earth abundance, and low cost.

TL;DR: In this article, an approach to fabricate dense textured V2O5 thin films was devised to scrutinize the root cause of capacity fade in Li-ion batteries, and in situ measurements of stress of thin films during 50 electrochemical cycles were performed.
