摘要
Safety issues induced by infinite anode volume change and uncontrolled lithium(Li)dendrite growth have become the biggest obstacle to the practical application of Li metal batteries.In addition,the tra-ditional rolling method makes it difficult to manufacture thin Li foil with high mechanical strength and low Li content.Herein,a three-dimensional(3D)lithophilic carbon paper/copper(Cu)current collector hybrid anode with ultra-low Li metal content is prepared by a hot-pressing method.The highly re-versible and stable lithiophilic layer LiC_(x) formed in situ by heating/pressing treatment provides abun-dant nucleation sites and reduces the Li nucleation overpotential,thereby effectively suppressing Li den-drite growth.Moreover,the volume change and pulverization problems of Li metal anode during depo-sition/stripping also can be accommodated by the 3D skeleton.The optimization effect has been directly confirmed by in-situ optical and ex-situ scanning electron microscope observation.Therefore,highly sta-ble performance(158.4 mA h g^(-1) at 2 C after 200 cycles with a capacity retention of 95.24%)in Li@LCP-Cu||NCM811 coin cell can be achieved.Furthermore,the solid-state battery assembled with the hybrid anode,poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)-based polymer electrolyte and polyethylene oxide(PEO)interface functional layer also exhibits the best electrochemical and safety performance,which also proves that the Li@LCP-Cu anode has great potential for application in solid-state batteries.
