Claim 31:
32. The method of claim 23, wherein:
the deformable solid comprises a piezoelectric material;
the method further comprises charging and/or discharging an electrode of the electrochemical cell;
the electrode comprises lithium metal and/or a lithium metal alloy as an electrode active material during at least a portion of the charging and/or discharging;
the method further comprises applying, during at least one period of time during the charging and/or discharging, a total anisotropic force with a component normal to an active surface of the electrode of the electrochemical cell defining a pressure of at least 10 kgf/cm2; and
the two-dimensional array of independently addressable deformable solid segments comprises a two-dimensional grid of at least three columns of independently addressable deformable solid segments and at least three rows of independently addressable deformable solid segments.
