Abstract

The Front Cover illustrates self-closing phenomenon of cracks in composite cathodes of all-solid-state batteries. Cracks generated in a 400-mm-thick LiCoO2-Li10.35Ge1.35P1.65S12 composite cathode during charging close off by themselves when the microstructure is uniformly controlled. This was clarified by using in situ scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. More information can be found in the Research Article by K. Watanabe, M. Hirayama and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/batt.202500119).
