Single‐Step Deformation Processing of Ultrathin Lithium Foil and Strip (Adv. Mater. Technol. 4/2024)

Single‐Step Deformation Processing In article 2301315, Debapriya P. Mohanty and co‐workers demonstrate a novel lithium anode manufacturing solution: the production of thin lithium foil by machining‐based deformation processing. This new processing approach can produce various types of metal foil down to a few micrometers thickness in a single step from ingot. The process uses 50% less energy than conventional multi‐stage processes like rolling and can be implemented at point‐of‐use with compact infrastructure.
