Key Issues Hindering a Practical Lithium-Metal Anode
Open accessAbstract
The sluggish progress of battery technologies has drastically hindered the rapid development of electric vehicles and next-generation portable electronics. The lithium (Li) metal anode is critical to break the energy-density bottleneck of current Li-ion chemistry. After being intensively studied in recent years, the Li-metal field has developed new understanding and made unprecedented progress in preventing Li-dendrite growth and improving Coulombic efficiency, especially through development of advanced electrolytes and novel analytical tools. In this Opinion, we revisit the controversial issues surrounding Li metal as an anode based upon recent advances, revealing the underlying cause of Li-metal failure and the true role of ‘solid electrolyte interphase' in Li-metal anodes. Finally, we propose future directions that must be taken in order for Li-metal batteries to become commercially viable.

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.
