A reversible dendrite-free high-areal-capacity lithium metal electrode
Despite recent technological advances, it remains challenging to realize reversible high-areal-capacity lithium metal anodes. Here, the authors demonstrate such an anode by tailoring the top solid electrolyte interphase layer.

Crystal Growth Engineering for Dendrite-Free Zinc Metal Plating. [PDF]
AbstractThe practical implementation of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) is limited by uncontrolled zinc (Zn) dendrite growth during anode plating, compromising both safety and cycle life. Typically, Zn plating proceeds via 2D growth along the six equivalent prismatic [ directions of the hexagonal close‐packed (HCP) Zn lattice, forming hexagonal ...

Realizing Dendrite-Free Lithium Deposition with a Composite Separator
A dendrite-free Li deposition strategy is developed with a composite separator of MnCO3 coated porous polypropylene. Mn2+ ions are preferentially reduced to form Mn nanoparticles on Li anodes, which helped to reduce the nucleation overpotential and achieve a dendrite-free deposition of Li bulky grains.

MXene‐Based Dendrite‐Free Potassium Metal Batteries
AbstractPotassium metal batteries are considered as attractive alternatives beyond lithium‐ion batteries. However, uncontrollable dendrite growth on the potassium metal anode has restrained their practical applications. A high‐performance potassium anode achieved by confining potassium metal into a titanium‐deficient nitrogen‐containing MXene/carbon ...

Fluorinated hybrid solid-electrolyte-interphase for dendrite-free lithium deposition [PDF]
Here the authors report a simple method to create a solid electrolyte interphase that is tightly anchored onto the surface of lithium metal anode. This artificial structure suppresses dead and dendrite Li and stores Li via formation of alloys, enabling ...

Biomimetic Dendrite‐Free Multivalent Metal Batteries
AbstractRechargeable multivalent metal (e.g., zinc (Zn) and aluminum (Al)) batteries are ideal choices for large‐scale energy storage owing to their intrinsic low cost and safety. However, the poor compatibility between metallic anodes and electrolytes strongly hampers their practical applications.
