Abstract
A Li-Zn alloy electrode prepared by a kinetically controlled vapor depositi on (KCVD) is examined for use as the negative electrode for rechargeable li thium batteries. Results indicate that filamentary or dendritic growth of l ithium on a Li-Zn alloy electrode prepared by the KCVD technique are dramat ically suppressed due to fast diffusion of lithium in the alloy electrode, suggesting that the Li-Zn prepared by the KCVD method may be used effective ly to improve the rechargeability of negative electrodes.
