Abstract
The anode-free lithium metal battery (AF-LMB) demonstrates the emerging battery chemistry, exhibiting higher energy density than the existing lithium-ion battery and conventional LMB empirically. A systematic step-by-step while bottom-up calculation system is first developed to quantitatively depict the energy gap from theory to practice. The attainable high energy of AF-LMB necessitates a homogeneous Li+ flux on the anode side to achieve an improved Li reversibility against inventory loss. On such basis, a lithiophilic Cu3P-decorated 3D copper foil to promote dendrite-free lithium deposition is further reported. The phosphorized surface of high affinity toward Li+ incorporating the nanostructure of abundant nucleation sites synergistically regulates the Li nucleation/growth behavior, extending the cycling lifespan of high-loading AF-LMBs. The processed foil featuring lightweight and ultrathin merits further increases the energy density, both gravimetrically and volumetrically. This study provides a novel scheme for simultaneously realizing the uniform deposition of lithium and increasing the energy density of future AF-LMBs.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal is one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation, high-energy, Li-based batteries due to its exceptionally high specific capacity and low reduction potential. Nonetheless, intrinsic challenges such as detrimental interfacial reactions, significant volume expansion, and dendritic growth present considerable obstacles to its practical application. This review comprehensively summarizes various recent strategies for the modification and protection of metallic lithium anodes, offering insight into the latest advancements in electrode enhancement, electrolyte innovation, and interfacial design, as well as theoretical simulations related to the above. One notable trend is the optimization of electrolytes to suppress dendrite formation and enhance the stability of the electrode-electrolyte interface. This has been achieved through the development of new electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity and better compatibility with Li metal. Furthermore, significant progress has been made in the design and synthesis of novel Li metal composite anodes. These composite anodes, incorporating various additives such as polymers, ceramic particles, and carbon nanotubes, exhibit improved cycling stability and safety compared to pure Li metal. Research has used simulation computing, machine learning, and other methods to achieve electrochemical mechanics modeling and multi-field simulation in order to analyze and predict non-uniform lithium deposition processes and control factors. In-depth investigations into the electrochemical reactions, interfacial chemistry, and physical properties of these electrodes have provided valuable insights into their design and optimization. It systematically encapsulates the state-of-the-art developments in anode protection and delineates prospective trajectories for the technology's industrial evolution. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of the latest strategies for enhancing metallic lithium anodes in lithium-ion batteries, addressing the primary challenges and suggesting future directions for industrial advancement.

Abstract
Lithium metal is the ultimate anode material for pursuing the increased energy density of rechargeable batteries. However, fatal dendrites growth and huge volume change seriously hinder the practical application of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). In this work, a lithium host that preinstalled CoSe nanoparticles on vertical carbon vascular tissues (VCVT/CoSe) is designed and fabricated to resolve these issues, which provides sufficient Li plating space with a robust framework, enabling dendrite-free Li deposition. Their inherent N sites coupled with the in situ formed lithiophilic Co sites loaded at the interface of VCVT not only anchor the initial Li nucleation seeds but also accelerate the Li+ transport kinetics. Meanwhile, the Li2Se originated from the CoSe conversion contributes to constructing a stable solid-electrolyte interphase with high ionic conductivity. This optimized Li/VCVT/CoSe composite anode exhibits a prominent long-term cycling stability over 3000 h with a high areal capacity of 10 mAh cm-2. When paired with a commercial nickel-rich LiNi0.83Co0.12Mn0.05O2 cathode, the full-cell presents substantially enhanced cycling performance with 81.7% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 0.2 C. Thus, this work reveals the critical role of guiding Li deposition behavior to maintain homogeneous Li morphology and pave the way to stable LMBs.

Abstract
Lithium/sodium metal anodes are considered promising candidates to realize high-energy-density batteries because of their high theoretical specific capacity and low potential. However, their cycling stability are hindered by uncontrolled dendrites growth. Herein, SnSe nanoparticles are tightly anchored on the fiber of carbon cloth (CC) to construct SnSe@CC host material in order to control Li/Na nucleation behavior and restrain dendrites growth. It is demonstrated that the alloying product of Li15Sn4/Na15Sn4 with strong metal affinity can provide abundant active nucleation sites, and three-dimensional structure of CC host can significantly decrease the local electric current, thereby guiding homogeneous metal deposition without Li and Na dendrites. Meanwhile, the conversion product of Li2Se/Na2Se will uniformly cover on the surface of metal to serve as ultra-stable solid state interface film. As a result, high-capacity Li metal anode (20 mAh·cm-2) and Na metal anode (10 mAh·cm-2) can work steadily with ultra-long lifespans over 5000 and 6000 h with low overpotentials of 7 mV and 141 mV, respectively. Moreover, the assembled Li and Na metal full batteries exhibit superior electrochemical performances, confirming the practicability of metal anode confined in composite host. Such a strategy of conversion-alloying-type materials as hosts opens up a new path for dendrite-free metal anode electrode.

Abstract
Rechargeable battery devices with high energy density are highly demanded by the modern society. The use of lithium (Li) anodes is extremely attractive for future rechargeable battery devices. However, the notorious Li dendritic and instability of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) issues pose series of challenge for metal anodes. Here, based on the inspiration of in situ photoelectrochemical engineering, it is showed that a tailor-made composite photoanodes with good photoelectrochemical properties (Li affinity property and photocatalytic property) can significantly improve the electrochemical deposition behavior of Li anodes. The light-assisted Li anode is accommodated in the tailor-made current collector without uncontrollable Li dendrites. The as-prepared light-assisted Li metal anode can achieve the in situ stabilization of SEI layer under illumination. The corresponding in situ formation mechanism and photocatalytic mechanism of composite photoanodes are systematically investigated via DFT theoretical calculation, ex situ UV-vis and ex situ XPS characterization. It is worth mentioning that the as-prepared composite photoanodes can adapt to the ultra-high current density of 15 mA cm-2 and the cycle capacity of 15 mAh cm-2 under light, showing no dendritic morphology and low hysteresis voltage. This work is of great significance for the commercialization of new generation Li metal batteries.

Abstract
Exploiting thin Li metal anode is essential for high-energy-density battery, but is severely plagued by the poor processability of Li, as well as the uncontrollable Li plating/stripping behaviors and Li/electrolyte interface. Herein, a thickness/capacity-adjustable thin alloy-type Li/LiZn@Cu anode is fabricated for high-energy-density Li metal batteries. The as-formed lithophilic LiZn alloy in Li/LiZn@Cu anode can effectively regulate Li plating/stripping and stabilize the Li/electrolyte interface to deliver the hierarchical Li electrochemistry. Upon charging, the Li/LiZn@Cu anode firstly acts as Li source for homogeneous Li extraction. At the end of charging, the de-alloy of LiZn nanostructures further supplements the Li extraction, actually playing the Li compensation role in battery cycling. While upon discharging, the LiZn alloy forms just at the beginning, thereby regulating the following Li homogeneous deposition. The reversibility of such an interesting process is undoubtedly verified from the electrochemistry and in-situ XRD characterization. This work sheds light on the facile fabrication of practical Li metal anodes and useful Li compensation materials for high-energy-density Li metal batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are regarded as highly promising energy storage devices due to their high theoretical specific capacity and high energy density. Nevertheless, the commercial application of Li-S batteries is still restricted by poor electrochemical performance. Herein, beaded nanofibers (BNFs) consisting of carbon and CoSe2 nanoparticles (CoSe2/C BNFs) were prepared by electrospinning combined with carbonization and selenization. Benefitting from the synergistic effect of physical adsorption and chemical catalysis, the CoSe2/C BNFs can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides and improve the rate performance and cycle stability of Li-S batteries. The three-dimensional conductive network provides a fast electron and ion transport pathway as well as sufficient space for alleviating the volume change. CoSe2 can not only effectively adsorb the lithium polysulfides but also accelerate their conversion reaction. The CoSe2/C BNFs-S cathode has a high reversible discharge specific capacity of 919.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and presents excellent cycle stability with a low-capacity decay rate of 0.05% per cycle for 600 cycles at 1 C. The combination of the beaded carbon nanofibers and polar metal selenides sheds light on designing high-performance sulfur-based cathodes.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 649:86-96.

Abstract
A Te-doped CoTe2 film could be grown in situ on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to develop a Te-CoTe2/rGO composite with an ultrathin layered structure, which has multiple protective effects on both the sulfur positive electrode and lithium negative electrode in lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries. The Te-CoTe2/rGO composite as a sulfur host not only shows a strong adsorbing ability for lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) but can also accelerate the conversion reaction of active material sulfur during the charging/discharging process. More importantly, this host can turn the shuttle effect from an unfavorable factor to a favorable factor, which could improve the electrochemical performance of the lithium anode with uniform lithium plating/stripping resulting from the intermediate polytellurosulfide species (Li2TexSy), which could be generated on the cathode surface via Te reacting with soluble Li2Sn (4 ≤ n ≤ 8). As a result, the S@Te-CoTe2/rGO cathode shows a discharge capacity of 970.0 mA h g-1 in the first cycle at 1 C and retains a high capacity of 545.5 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles, corresponding to a low capacity decay rate of only 0.043% per cycle. In addition, in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and in situ Raman were used to explore the sulfur conversion process. This study not only demonstrates that a two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin Te-CoTe2/rGO composite is successfully developed with multiple effects on Li-S batteries but also opens a new pathway for designing unique sulfur hosts to promote the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) system coupled with thin-film solid electrolyte as a novel high-energy micro-battery has enormous potential for complementing embedded energy harvesters to enable the autonomy of the Internet of Things microdevice. However, the volatility in high vacuum and intrinsic sluggish kinetics of S hinder researchers from empirically integrating it into all-solid-state thin-film batteries, leading to inexperience in fabricating all-solid-state thin-film Li-S batteries (TFLSBs). Herein, for the first time, TFLSBs have been successfully constructed by stacking vertical graphene nanosheets-Li2S (VGs-Li2S) composite thin-film cathode, lithium-phosphorous-oxynitride (LiPON) thin-film solid electrolyte, and Li metal anode. Fundamentally eliminating Li-polysulfide shuttle effect and maintaining a stable VGs-Li2S/LiPON interface upon prolonged cycles have been well identified by employing the solid-state Li-S system with an "unlimited Li" reservoir, which exhibits excellent long-term cycling stability with a capacity retention of 81% for 3,000 cycles, and an exceptional high temperature tolerance up to 60 °C. More impressively, VGs-Li2S-based TFLSBs with evaporated-Li thin-film anode also demonstrate outstanding cycling performance over 500 cycles with a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.71%. Collectively, this study presents a new development strategy for secure and high-performance rechargeable all-solid-state thin-film batteries.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal is regarded as the most promising anode candidate for next-generation rechargeable storage systems due to its impeccable capacity and the lowest electrochemical potential. Nevertheless, the irregular dendritic Li, unstable interface, and infinite volume change, which are the intrinsic drawbacks rooted in Li metal, give a seriously negative effect on the practical commercialization for Li metal batteries. Among the numerous optimization strategies, designing a 3D framework with high specific surface area and sufficient space is a convincing way out to ameliorate the above issues. Due to the Li-free property of the 3D framework, a Li preloading process is necessary before the 3D framework that matches with the electrolyte and cathode. How to achieve homogeneous integration with Li and 3D framework is essential to determine the electrochemical performance of Li metal anode. Herein, this review overviews the recent general fabrication methods of 3D framework-based composite Li metal anode, including electrodeposition, molten Li infusion, and pressure-derived fabrication, with the focus on the underlying mechanism, design criteria, and interfacial optimization. These results can give specific perspectives for future Li metal batteries with thin thickness, low N/P ratio, lean electrolyte, and high energy density (>350 Wh Kg-1 ).

Abstract
With the advantages of low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness, quasi-solid-state zinc-ion microbatteries (ZIMBs) have received widespread attention in the field of flexible wearable devices and on-chip integratable energy storage. However, hysteresis Zn-ion transport kinetics and inhomogeneous growth of the zinc anode result in the poor capacity reversibility and cycling stability. Herein, a quasi-solid-state planar zinc-ion cell was developed by employing a vertical graphene (VG) film as an effective conductive modification layer for both the cathode and anode. The VG distinctly induces uniform Zn deposition/stripping, accelerates the charge transport, and enhances the adhesion between the active materials and current collectors. As a result, planar Zn@VG//MnO2@VG exhibits a high areal capacity of 159 μAh cm-2, a remarkably high areal energy/power density of 201.5 μWh cm-2/67.16 μW cm-2, and a high capacity retention of 95.6% at a bending angle of 180°. The proposed facile strategy for electrode modification provides a new insight into the design of high-performance flexible and planar ZIMBs.

Abstract
The rapid development of miniaturized electronic devices has greatly stimulated the endless pursuit of high-performance on-chip micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) delivering both high energy and power densities. To this end, an advanced three-dimensional (3D) microelectrode architecture design offers enormous opportunities due to high mass loading of active materials, large specific surface areas, fast ion diffusion kinetics, and short electron transport pathways. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the rational design of 3D architectured microelectrodes including 3D dense microelectrodes, 3D nanoporous microelectrodes, and 3D macroporous microelectrodes. Furthermore, the emergent microfabrication strategies are discussed in detail in terms of charge storage mechanisms and structure-performance correlation for on-chip MSCs. Finally, we conclude with a perspective on future opportunities and challenges in this thriving field.

Abstract
A lithium metal anode (LMA) is appealing due to its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. Unfortunately, the practical application of LMAs is restricted by the uncontrollable Li dendrite growth and tremendous volume change. Herein, lithiophilic honeycomb-like layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheet arrays supported on a flexible carbon cloth (NiMn-LDHs NAs@CC) are synthesized as the Li host to spatially confine the Li deposition, guiding Li growth via a conformal and uniform manner. First, the lithiophilic NiMn-LDHs NAs as nucleation seeds render the CC substance outstanding lithiophilicity and reduce the nucleation barrier. The hierarchical honeycomb-like structure then directs the oriented Li deposition and provides an open channel for fast ion transport. Finally, the CC skeleton offers a high specific surface for decreasing the inhomogeneous distribution of the current density and enough space for alleviating the volume variations, synergistically inhibiting the dendritic Li growth. As a consequence, the NiMn-LDHs NAs@CC symmetric cell exhibits a low overpotential of less than 17 mV at 2 mA cm-2 and a long lifespan of 2100 h at 3 mA cm-2. In addition, when paired with the LiNiCoMnO2 (NCM111) cathode, the NiMn-LDHs NAs@CC@Li full cell presents enhanced cycling stability and rate capability in comparison to the CC@Li full cell, implying the great potential of the NiMn-LDHs NAs@CC in stabilizing the LMA.

Abstract
Metallic Li is one of the most promising anodes for high-energy secondary batteries. However, the enormous volume changes and severe dendrite formation during the Li plating/stripping process hinder the practical application of Li metal anodes (LMAs). We have developed a sulfate-assisted strategy to synthesize a self-standing host composed of N,S-doped porous carbon nanobelts embedded with MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 @NSPCB) for use in LMAs. In situ measurements and theoretical calculations reveal that the uniformly distributed MoS2 derivatives within the carbon nanobelts serve as stable lithiophilic sites which effectively homogenize Li nucleation and suppress dendrite formation. In addition, the hierarchical porosity and 3D nanobelt networks ensure fast Li-ion diffusion and accommodate the volume change of Li deposits during the plating/stripping process. As a result, a Li-Li symmetric cell using the MoS2 @NSPCB host operates steadily over 1500 h with an ultralow voltage hysteresis (≈24.2 mV) at 3 mA cm-2 /3 mAh cm-2 . When paired with a LiFePO4 cathode, the current collector-free LMA endows the full cell with a high energy density of 460 Wh kg-1 and good cycling performance (with a capacity retention of ≈70% even after 1600 cycles at 10 C).

Abstract
Lithium (Li) dendrite formation and poor Li+ transport kinetics under high-charging current densities and capacities inhibit the capabilities of Li metal batteries (LMBs). This study proposes a 3D conductive multichannel carbon framework (MCF) with homogeneously distributed vertical graphene nanowalls (VGWs@MCF) as a multifunctional host to efficiently regulate Li deposition and accelerate Li+ transport. A novel electrode for both Li|VGWs@MCF anode and LFP|VGWs@MCF (NCM811 |VGWs@MCF) cathode is designed and fabricated using a dual vertically aligned architecture. This unique hierarchical structure provides ultrafast, continuous, and smooth electron transport channels; furthermore, it furnishes outstanding mechanical strength to support massive Li deposition at ultrahigh rates. As a result, the Li|VGWs@MCF anode exhibits outstanding cycling stability at ultrahigh currents and capacities (1000 h at 10 mA cm-2 and 10 mAh cm-2 , and 1000 h at 30 mA cm-2 and 60 mAh cm-2 ). Moreover, full cells made of such 3D anodes and freestanding LFP|VGWs@MCF (NCM811 |VGWs@MCF) cathodes with conspicuous mass loading (45 mg cm-2 for LFP and 35 mg cm-2 for NCM811 ) demonstrate excellent areal capacities (6.98 mAh cm-2 for LFP and 5.6 mAh cm-2 for NCM811 ). This strategy proposes a promising direction for the development of high-energy-density practical Li batteries that combine safety, performance, and sustainability.

Abstract
Constructing a composite lithium anode with a rational structure has been considered as an effective approach to regulate and relieve the tough problems of a sparkling Li anode. However, the potential short circuits risk that Li deposition at the surface of the framework has not yet been resolved. Here, we present a simple regulating-deposition strategy to guide the preferentially bottom-up deposition/growth of Li. The triple-gradient structure of modified porous copper with electrical passivation (top) and chemical activation (bottom) shows significant improvements in the morphological stability and electrochemical performance. Meanwhile, the in situ generation of Li2Se can as an advanced artificial SEI layer be devoted to homogeneous Li plating/stripping. As a result, the composite anode exhibits a long-term cycling over 250 cycles with a high average CE of 98.2% at 1 mA cm-2. Furthermore, a capacity retention of 94.4% in full cells can be achieved when pairing with LiFePO4 as the cathode. These results ensure a bright direction for developing high-performance Li metal anodes.

Abstract
The interface regulation of lithium metal anodes (LMAs) is considered one of the most critical issues in the pursuit of high energy density for lithium metal batteries. As a key physical characteristic, the dielectric feature of the interface overlayer decides the electric field and charge-current distribution within the interface region and directly influences the Li deposition behavior of LMAs. Herein, a high-dielectric artificial solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) is designed to regulate the electric field distribution and Li+ flux and stabilize the interface in LMAs. In the hybrid organic-inorganic polydopamine (PDA)-SiO2 artificial SEI, the enhanced dielectric permittivity by inorganic SiO2 has important effects in preventing current variation, guiding uniform current/potential distribution and homogenizing the Li+ flux within the SEI interface, thus achieving uniform Li plating, while the high elasticity, strong Li affinity and lithiophilic/hydrophilic property of PDA can suppress Li dendrite growth and stabilize the SEI structure over long cycles. These multi-functional properties of the artificial SEI for LMAs can achieve remarkable cycling in both the symmetric cell configuration (2800 h at 5 mA cm-2 with 1 mA h cm-2) and LiCoO2||Li full cells. Our work provides a physical point-of-view of the novel configuration of the artificial SEI for stable LMAs and can be extended to the protection of other alkali metal anodes.
