ABSTRACT
Lithium (Li) metal has been recognized as the most promising anode material for next-generation rechargeable batteries. However, the practical application of Li anodes is hampered by the growth of Li dendrites. To address this issue, a robust and uniform Sb-based hybrid lithiophilic protective layer is designed and built by a facile in situ surface reaction approach. As evidenced theoretically and experimentally, the as-prepared hybrid protective layer provides outstanding wettability and fast charge-transfer kinetics. Moreover, the lithiophilic Sb embedded in the protective layer provides a rich site for Li nucleation, which effectively reduces the overpotential and induces uniform Li deposition. Consequently, the symmetric cell exhibits a long lifespan of over 1600 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2 with a low voltage polarization. Furthermore, excellent cycling stability is also obtained in Li-S full cells (60% capacity retention in 800 cycles at 1 C) and Li||LFP full cells (74% capacity retention in 500 cycles at 5 C). This work proposed a facile but efficient strategy to stabilize the Li metal anode.
