Abstract
An electrode comprises a current collector, a conductive buffer layer formed on the current collector that has at least one geometrically configured region and an active material layer formed on the conductive buffer layer. The geometrically configured conductive buffer region can expand and contract between the non-lithiated and lithiated states.
