Cu2S NWs are grown inside a commercial Cu foam which help realize the uniform lithium deposition and suppress the dendrite growth by the increased surface area and lithiophilic surface modification at the same time.
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) assembled with polymer electrolytes (PEs) and lithium metal anodes are promising batteries owing to their enhanced safeties and ultrahigh theoretical energy densities. Nevertheless, polymer electrolytes...
Protective Polymer Coatings (PPCs) protect lithium metal anodes in rechargeable batteries to stabilize the Li/electrolyte interface and to extend the cycle life by reducing parasitic reactions and improving the lithium deposition morphology.
