Stabilizing nucleation seeds in Li metal anode via ion-selective graphene oxide interfaces

Jingjing Ma et al.

Summary: This study presents a unique sandwich anode structure composed of nanoscale zinc metals confined between graphene oxide (GO) and copper foil. The lithiophilic zinc layer acts as a nucleation seed for lithium deposition, while the GO layer provides a channel for rapid ion transport and stability of the nucleation seed during cycling. The GO-protected alloy composite anode shows improved cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency, leading to high-rate performance and capacity retention in full cell cathodes.
