Growing single-crystalline seeds on lithiophobic substrates to enable fast-charging lithium-metal batteries

Zhaohui Wu et al.

Summary: Controlling the nucleation and growth is essential for enabling long-life Li-metal batteries. Here, the authors report the growth of faceted single-crystalline Li seeds on a lithiophobic Fe/LiF composite substrate that enables dense Li deposition under fast-charging conditions. A cell using a 3 mAh cm(-2) LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (LiNMC811) cathode, onefold excess of lithium and 3 g Ah(-1) electrolyte cycles at a 1 C rate for more than 130 cycles with 80% capacity retention, a 550% improvement over the baseline cells. These findings advance the understanding of lithium nucleation and pave the way for realizing high-energy, fast-charging Li-metal batteries.

Gradient nano-recipes to guide lithium deposition in a tunable reservoir for anode-free batteries

Zhiqiang Li et al.

Summary: This study proposes a method of in-situ growing a gradient solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on a pre-designed micro-hole grid (MHG) Cu reservoir in anode-free batteries (AFBs). The method improves the stability of the electrode interface and reduces surface stress, resulting in higher areal capacity and cycling performance.
