Gif of Lithium Dendrite Danger Zone

Caption

Between diffusional creep and dislocation glide, the competition for stress relief identifies the critical interface defect length scale, the defect danger zone, that is most likely to cause device failure by enabling the formation & growth of lithium dendrites originating at the interface between the lithium anode and solid electrolyte separator.
