Claims19
A method for passivating a layer comprising lithium metal, comprising:
- reacting a layer comprising lithium metal with a gas to form a ceramic passivating layer disposed thereon, wherein the passivating layer comprises a plurality of columnar structures having an aspect ratio of greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 5.
A method for passivating a layer comprising lithium metal, comprising:
- exposing a layer comprising lithium metal to a gas to form a passivating layer disposed thereon, wherein the gas comprises a species comprising boron, phosphorus, antimony, selenium, tellurium, hydrogen, and/or a halogen.
A method for depositing an electroactive layer, comprising:
- depositing an electroactive layer from a plurality of gases, wherein:
- the electroactive layer is porous;
- the plurality of gases comprises lithium;
- and
- the plurality of gases comprises a species comprising boron, phosphorus, antimony, selenium, tellurium, hydrogen, and/or a halogen.
