All the irreversibly plated Li converted into LiOH and 2) LiOH is hygroscopic and porous. With these assumptions, the plated Li will convert to LiOH and undergo significant volume expansion, and the morphology of the cycled anode will vary along the strip length due to differing amounts of plated Li. In addition, the delamination of the XFC-cycled graphite from the Cu CC visualized in Figure is likely due to the more fragile nature of the cycled anode (compared to the pristine), which resulted in damage during sample preparation.
