Research on anode-less solid-state lithium metal batteries reveals how metal interlayers influence lithium plating stability ...

Inside it the piece of metal to be plated is hooked up as the cathode (negative pole) of an electrical circuit. The plating material forms the anode (positive pole). When a high-voltage direct ...

The anode (positive electrode) is made from impure copper and the cathode (negative electrode) is made from pure copper. Pure copper forms on the cathode. The slideshow shows how this works.
