Effect of depth of discharge (DOD) on cycling in situ formed Li anodes
This study demonstrates that the stability of cyclingin situ Li anodes depends on their depth of discharge (DOD). High DOD cycling results in unstable performance due to the accumulation of interfacial degradation at Li/LLZO interfaces.
