| contents | Safe, all-solid-state lithium metal batteries enable high energy density applications, but suffer from instabilities during operation that lead to rough interfaces between the metal and electrolyte and subsequently cause void formation and dendrite growth that degrades performance and safety. Inspired by the morphogenetic control of thin lamina such as tree leaves that robustly grow into flat shapes -- we propose a range of approaches to control lithium metal stripping and plating. To guide discovery of materials that will implement these feedback mechanisms, we develop a reduced order model that captures couplings between mechanics, interface growth, temperature, and electrochemical variables. We find that long-range feedback is required to achieve true interface stability, while approaches based on local feedback always eventually grow into rough interfaces. All together, our study provides the beginning of a practical framework for analyzing and designing stable electrochemical interfaces in terms of the mechanical properties and the physical chemistry that underlie their dynamics. |
