## Description

- description: The 3D microstructure of electrodeposited Li is essential for advancing
    Li-metal batteries because of the heterogeneous Li electrodeposition behaviors
    and complex phases within the electrode. However, high-resolution 3D imaging of
    large-scale features is challenging when using existing 3D characterization technologies.
    We employ Xe plasma focused-ion-beam-scanning electron microscopy for the high-resolution,
    large-volume 3D reconstructions of electrodeposited Li (50 nm per pixel and 200
    μm in dimension). This approach can visualize metallic Li, pores, and individual
    Li particles, enabling a comprehensive statistical analysis of their distribution,
    volume, number, and shape. We identify distinct Li growth mechanisms at low and
    high current densities, with Li growth being predominant at 0.2 mA cm−2, while
    both Li growth and new nucleation occur simultaneously at ≥0.5 mA cm−2. This study
    improves our understanding of Li microstructure-performance relationships and
    provides an innovative method for electrode evaluation and optimization.
