Abstract

Abstract The development of high‐energy density batteries is critical to the decarbonization of the transportation and power generation sectors. For any given lithium‐containing cathode system, the anode‐free full cell configuration, which eliminates excess lithium and pairs the fully lithiated cathode with a bare current collector, can deliver the maximum possible energy density. The absence of free lithium metal during cell assembly confers significant practical advantages as well. It is also the ideal framework for developing a thorough understanding of lithium deposition in conjunction with various cathode systems. However, the poor efficiencies of lithium plating and stripping lead to rapid lithium…
