Enabling fast formation for lithium-ion batteries with a localized high-concentration electrolyte

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Fast formation can reduce the production cost of lithium-ion batteries, but can lead to capacity loss and safety concerns due to lithium plating. Electrolyte design can suppress this effect, allowing formation in 2–3 hours without performance loss.
