Abstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By developing a thermodynamically consistent phase field framework, which includes position-dependent large deformation mechanics, plasticity, electrochemistry, and electrodeposition, twelve growth mechanisms were identified. Specifically, previously reported\u00a0tip-controlled growth<\/em>mechanism is resolved in to (a)\u00a0flat tops<\/em>, (b)\u00a0rounded tops<\/em>, (c)\u00a0edge shielding<\/em>, (d)\u00a0electrical shielding<\/em>, and (e)\u00a0local electrochemical exchange<\/em>. Similarly, previously reported\u00a0base-controlled growth<\/em>\u00a0mechanism is resolved in to: (f)\u00a0initial base controlled growth<\/em>, (g)\u00a0late base controlled growth<\/em>, (h)\u00a0merged bases<\/em>, and (i)\u00a0unmerged bases.<\/em>\u00a0Finally, previously reported\u00a0mixed growth<\/em>mechanism is resolved in to: (j)\u00a0local mechanical equilibrium<\/em>, (k)\u00a0dendrite bending<\/em>, and (l)\u00a0stressed junctions<\/em>. Longer dendrites predominantly grow through electrodeposition while shorter dendrites predominantly grow through plastic flow. Further, local electrochemical and mechanical dendrite branch interactions induce lateral dissolution and deposition that lead to microstructural changes in the dendrite morphology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
