  • Pure aluminum anode capacity fading is caused by loss of lithium due to diffusion into the bulk or formation of stable AlLi phases.

    “The causes of this have been extensively studied and include: (i) structural damage from excessive volume changes during the charge–discharge cycle, leading to (ii) crack nucleation and eventual pulverization of the anode, resulting in loss of electrical contact, and (iii) loss of lithium due to diffusion into the bulk or formation of stable AlLi phases [9,10].”

    From Solid-State Diffusion Bonding of Aluminum to Copper for Bimetallic Anode Fabrication (2024) · cites this paper as [9]

    The mechanism section (pp. 7, 10) attributes rapid capacity loss in aluminum foil anodes to lithium trapped in residual β-LiAl beneath a poorly diffusive α-Al surface layer. This supports lithium becoming inaccessible through diffusion-related trapping, but not the specific explanation that lithium diffuses into the bulk or that intrinsically stable AlLi phases cause the loss.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
