Regulating local chemical softness of the collector to homogenize Li deposition for anode-free Li-metal batteries

Energy Environ. Sci., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4EE03673E, Paper
Jiaming Zhu, Cong Kang, Xiangjun Xiao, Ya Mao, Ying Luo, Yuheng Wang, Quansheng Zhang, Yulin Ma, Chunyu Du, Shuaifeng Lou, Fanpeng Kong, Jingying Xie, Geping Yin
A heterogeneous collector featuring hard-base sites and soft-acid sites is proposed, which significantly reduces nucleation and growth barriers, with no dendrite formation. This finding offers a pathway to rationally design highly efficient collectors for AFLMBs.
