Li-Ion current collector degradation paper (nerd alert)

A fantastic paper on a very rarely discussed topic, the degradation of the metal foil “current collectors” that the positive and negative active materials (battery goop) are spread on in a Li-Ion battery.

Most of the academia and industry papers talk about aging of the electrolyte or the active materials but current collector degradation also has an effect on cell aging.

It’s of limited interest…okay, zero interest…to the average person but I thought I’d drop the link here anyway for that one person who would want to read it. :grin:
