Abstract

With the increasing diversification of portable electronics and large-scale energy storage systems, conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with graphite anodes are now approaching their theoretical limits. Lithium metal, as the "Holy Grail" electrode for next-generation rechargeable batteries, is being revisited to meet the booming demand for high energy density electrodes due to its ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity and negative redox potential. Nevertheless, typical issues like notorious dendrite growth still hamper the bulk application of Li metal anodes. Dendrite growth renders increased surface area of the lithium metal, causing persistent depletion of the electrolyte and active materials,…
