The role of graphene host structure/chemistry in plating-stripping in lithium metal anodes employed for lithium metal batteries is first examined in this study. Structural and chemical defects are bad, since highly defective graphene promotes unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth. This consumes the fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive in the carbonate electrolyte and is correlated with rapid decay in Coulombic efficiency (CE) and formation of filament-like Li dendrites. A unique flow-aided sonication exfoliation method is employed to synthesize defect-free graphene (df-G), allowing for a direct performance comparison with conventional reduced graphene oxide (r-GO). At cycle 1, the r-GO is better electrochemically wetted by Li than df-G, indicating that initially it is more lithiophilic. With cycling, the nucleation overpotential with r-GO becomes higher than with df-G, indicating less facile plating reactions. The df-G yields state-of-the-art electrochemical performance, with the post cycled metal surface being relatively smooth and dendrite-free. Conversely, r-GO templates have CE rapidly degrade from the onset, with extensive dendrites after cycling. Severe SEI growth and associated FEC depletion with r-GO are further confirmed by electrochemical impedance analysis and surface science methods. A new design rule is provided for Li metal templates: An ideal host must be noncatalytic toward SEI formation.
