Towards better Li metal anodes: Challenges and strategies
Abstract
Abstract Anode materials are key components of batteries that significantly impact their specific energy and power. Li metal is considered as the ultimate anode due to its high theoretical capacity (∼3860 mA h/g) and low redox potential (−3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode). Specifically, rechargeable Li metal batteries (LMBs) with enabled safety promise to surpass the energy density of current Li-ion batteries. Unfortunately, the apparently inevitable growth of dendritic Li, electrolyte consumption, the severe volume changes and the connected potential safety risks of LMBs limit their practical application. Recent strategies based on manipulation of electrolyte chemistry, interface engineering, and structure modification of Li host have reportedly achieved improvement. At the moment, the trend is to move towards all-solid-state LMBs. However, there are serious challenges in terms of low ionic conductivity, poor interfacial contact, and sluggish kinetics. While there are excellent reviews available, this review emphasizes problems and provides additional insight in advanced strategies for stabilizing Li metal anodes in liquid, polymer, ceramic and composite electrolytes. New approaches and novel materials to overcome the above challenges are referred. This review aims at raising relevant questions and outlining future strategies for next-generation high-energy storage systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
