    Abstract Lithium (Li) dendrite formation in Li-metal batteries (LMBs) remains a key obstacle preventing LMBs from their widespread application. This study focuses on the role of the stress field in the Li electrodeposits formation and growth. Coupled electrochemical and mechanical phase-field model (PFM) is used to investigate electrodeposited Li evolution under different conditions. The PFM results, using both the anisotropic elastic properties of Li and the random delivery of Li-ions through the solid electrolyte interface, show a significant local stress development indicating a direct correlation between the stress field and the origin of the undesired Li filaments initiation.

    Electronically non-adiabatic effects play an important role in many chemical reactions. However, how these effects manifest in cold and ultracold chemistry remains largely unexplored. Here for the first time we present from first principles the non-adiabatic quantum dynamics of the reactive scattering between ultracold alkali-metal LiNa molecules and Li atoms. We show that non-adiabatic dynamics induces quantum interference effects that dramatically alter the ultracold rotationally resolved reaction rate coefficients. The interference effect arises from the conical intersection between the ground and an excited electronic state that is energetically accessible even for ultracold collisions. These unique interference effects might be exploited for quantum control applications such as a quantum molecular switch. The non-adiabatic dynamics are based on full-dimensional ab initio potential energy surfaces for the two electronic states that includes the non-adiabatic couplings and an accurate treatment of the long-range interactions. A statistical analysis of rotational populations of the Li 2 product reveals a Poisson distribution implying the underlying classical dynamics are chaotic. The Poisson distribution is robust and amenable to experimental verification and appears to be a universal property of ultracold reactions involving alkali metal dimers.
