Two micro-patterns of different sizes (50 and 80 μm) are designed to have equivalent capacities of 1.06 and 2.44 mAh cm⁻² by building a computational battery model. After preparing two stamps each possessing a micro-pattern design, the corresponding pattern is properly imprinted on the surface of 100 μm lithium metal, which is confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. When both micro-patterned lithium metals are electrochemically reduced and oxidized up to 1 mAh cm⁻² in Li/Li symmetric cells at 1 or 2 mA cm⁻², the 80 μm-patterned lithium shows a more stabilized lower overpotential during long-term cycling than the 50 μm-patterned and bare lithium, probably due to the lithium anchoring effect and a larger empty volume in the patterns. Additionally, an overflow of lithium deposits is easily observed in the 50 μm-patterned lithium metal, while the 80 μm-patterned lithium metal holds most of the lithium deposits within the patterns. When both micro-patterned lithium metals are assembled to full cells with a LiNi_0·6Co_0·2Mn_0·2O₂ cathode of 2 mAh cm⁻², the 80 μm-patterned lithium metal shows much better electrochemical performances with stable plating/stripping behavior within the patterns.

 通过建立计算电池模型，将两个不同大小（50和80μm）的微图案设计为具有1.06和2.44 mAh cm ^-2的等效容量。在制备两个均具有微图案设计的印模之后，将相应的图案适当地压印在100μm锂金属的表面上，这可通过扫描电子显微镜确认。当两个微图案化的锂金属被电化学还原和氧化高达1毫安厘米^-2中对于Li / Li对称细胞以1或2毫安厘米^-2，图案为80μm的锂在长期循环过程中显示出比50微米为图案的裸锂更稳定的低电势，这可能是由于锂的锚固效应和图案中较大的空体积所致。另外，在图案为50μm的锂金属中很容易观察到锂沉积物的溢出，而图案为80μm的锂金属则将大部分锂沉积物保留在图案中。当将两种微图案化的锂金属组装成具有2 mAh cm ^-2的LiNi _0·6 Co _0·2 Mn _0·2 O ₂阴极的完整电池时，具有80μm图案化的锂金属表现出更好的电化学性能，且稳定性高图案内的电镀/剥落行为。
