1 Introduction Due to the increasing demands for batteries exceeding energy density and specific energy of the established lithium ion battery technology (LIBs), alternative cell chemistries are required.[1-4] Here, cell concepts referred to as “zero-excess” or “anode-free” lithium metal batteries (LMBs), meaning that the positive electrode capacity is deposited on the negative electrode current collector rather than on a pre-existing reservoir of (excessive) metal upon operation, are...

1 Introduction Next-generation batteries are required to eventually meet the increasing demands for high-energy and high-power applications.

2.3 Immobilization of PVMPT in Ketjenblack-Based Electrodes The immobilization of PVMPT in Ketjenblack-based electrodes was further analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) measurements of cross sections of the pristine, charged and discharged KB600-based electrodes in comparison to Super C65-based electrodes.
