Abstract
Lithium (Li) dendritic growth and huge volume expansion seriously hamper Li-metal anode development. Herein, we design a lightweight 3D Li-ion-affinity host enabled by silver (Ag) nanoparticles fully decorating a porous melamine sponge (Ag@PMS) for dendrite-free and high-areal-capacity Li anodes. The compact Ag nanoparticles provide abundant preferred nucleation sites and give the host strong conductivity. Moreover, the high specific surface area and polar groups of the elastic, porous melamine sponge enhance the Li-ion diffusion kinetics, prompting homogeneity of Li deposition and stripping. As expected, the integrated 3D Ag@PMS-Li anode delivered a remarkable electrochemical performance, with a Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 97.14% after 450 cycles at 1 mA cm-2. The symmetric cell showed an ultralong lifespan of 3400 h at 1 mA cm-2 for 1 mAh cm-2. This study provides a facile and cost-effective strategy to design an advanced 3D framework for the preparation of a stable dendrite-free Li metal anode.

Abstract
Achieving a high depth of discharge (DOD) in lithium metal anodes (LMAs) is crucial for developing high areal energy density batteries suitable for wearable electronics. Yet, the persistent growth of dendrites compromises battery performance, and the significant lithium consumption during pre-lithiation obstructs their broad application. Herein, A flexible 3D Li13Sn5 scaffold is designed by allowing molten lithium to infiltrate carbon cloth adorned with SnO2 nanocrystals. This design markedly curbs the troublesome dendrite growth, thanks to the uniform electric field distribution and swift Li+ diffusion dynamics. Additionally, with a minimal SnO2 nanocrystals loading (2 wt.%), only 0.6 wt.% of lithium is consumed during pre-lithiation. Insights from in situ optical microscope observations and COMSOL simulations reveal that lithium remains securely anchored within the scaffold, a result of the rapid mass/charge transfer and uniform electric field distribution. Consequently, this electrode achieves a remarkable DOD of 87.1% at 10 mA cm-2 for 40 mAh cm-2. Notably, when coupled with a polysulfide cathode, the constructed flexible Li/Li13Sn5@CC||Li2S6/SnO2@CC pouch cell delivers a high-areal capacity of 5.04 mAh cm-2 and an impressive areal-energy density of 10.6 mWh cm-2. The findings pave the way toward the development of high-performance LMAs, ideal for long-lasting wearable electronics.

Abstract
The application of rechargeable lithium metal batteries is challenged by intractable issues of uncontrollable Li dendrite growth that result in poor cycle life and safety risks. In this work, an air-stable interphase is developed to protect the lithium metal anode (LMA) via a facile solution-based approach. The Ag-embedded fluoride-rich interphase not only creates abundant lithiophilic sites for homogenizing Li nucleation and growth but also resists severe air erosion to protect the LMA beneath and enable decent cycling stability. As a result, the Ag-F-rich interphase enables flat Li deposition on LMA, which is clearly observed in the operando Li plating experiments. Paired with a LiFePO4 cathode (11.8 mg cm-2), the Ag-F-rich interphase-modified LMA enables 300 stable cycles at 0.5 C, delivering a capacity retention ratio as high as 91.4%. Even after being exposed to air for 1 h, the modified LMA still runs smoothly for over 120 cycles with ignorable capacity decay, exhibiting great air stability. This work proves the concept of functionalizing the interphase on the LMA to enable good cycling performance even under severe air erosion.

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
Li metal is the ultimate anode material for next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. However, the uncontrollable growth of Li dendrites and low Coulombic efficiency (CE) prevent it from practical applications in Li metal batteries (LMBs). Here, a facile and low-cost strategy is developed to decorate a Cu current collector with a self-assembled γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-APS) film. The thin polymer film with nanopores promotes the formation of cobblestone-like Li deposition and suppresses Li-dendrite formation due to its low surface energy. The protecting layer not only increases the lithiophilicity of the Cu current collector but also alleviates the ambient corrosion and galvanic corrosion in practical use. Owing to these advantages, the half cell using γ-APS-Cu collectors exhibits a high average CE value of 99.2% for 100 cycles. The symmetric cell of γ-APS-Cu@Li shows an improved lifespan of 1400 h with a small voltage hysteresis of 12 mV at 0.5 mA cm-2. The full cell assembled with LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes and γ-APS-Cu@Li anodes delivers a high capacity of 136 mAh g-1 after 600 cycles at 0.5C.

Abstract
Using porous copper (Cu) as the host is one of the most effective approaches to stabilize Li metal anodes. However, the most widely used porous Cu hosts usually account for the excessive mass proportion of composite anodes, which seriously decreases the energy density of Li metal batteries. Herein, an ultralight porous Cu nanowire aerogel (UP-Cu) is reported as the Li metal anode host to accommodate a high mass loading of Li content of 77 wt %. Specifically, the Li/UP-Cu electrode displays a satisfactory gravimetric capacity of 2715 mAh g-1, which is higher than that of the most reported Li metal composite anodes. The UP-Cu host achieves a high Coulombic efficiency of ∼98.9% after 250 cycles in the half cell and exceptional electrochemical stability under high-current-density and deep-plating-stripping conditions in the symmetrical cell. The Li/UP-Cu|LiFePO4 battery displays a specific capacity of 102 mAh g-1 at 5 C for 5000 cycles. The Li/UP-Cu|LiFePO4 pouch cell achieves a significantly high capacity of 146.3 mAh g-1 with a high capacity retention of 95.83% for 360 cycles. This work provides a lightweight porous host to stabilize Li-metal anodes and maintain their high mass-specific capacity.

Abstract
The urgent demand for high energy and safety storage devices is pushing the development of lithium metal batteries. However, unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation and uncontrollable lithium dendrite growth are still huge challenges for the practical use of lithium metal batteries. Herein, a composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) endowed with designated ion channels is fabricated by constructing nanoscale Uio66-NH2 layer, which has uniformly distributed pore structure to regulate reversible Li plating/stripping in lithium metal batteries. The regular channels within the Uio66-NH2 layer work as an ion sieve to restrict larger TFSI- anions inside its channels and extract Li+ across selectively, which result in a high Li-ion transference number ( t Li + ${t_{{\rm{L}}{{\rm{i}}^{\bm{ + }}}}}$ ) of 0.6. Moreover, CPE provides high ion conductivity (0.245 mS cm-1 at room temperature) and expanded oxidation window (5.1 V) and forms a stable SEI layer. As a result, the assembled lithium metal batteries with CPE exhibit outstanding cyclic stability and capacity retention. The Li/CPE/Li symmetric cell continues plating/stripping over 500 h without short-circuiting. The Li/CPE/LFP cell delivers a reversible capacity of 149.3 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 99% after 100 cycles.

Abstract
Alkali metals (i.e., Li, Na, and K) are promising anode materials for next-generation high-energy-density batteries due to their superior theoretical specific capacities and low electrochemical potentials. However, the uneven current and ion distribution on the anode surface probably induces undesirable dendrite growth, which leads to significant safety hazards and severely hinders the commercialization of alkali metal anodes. A smart and versatile strategy that can accommodate alkali metals into porous metal current collectors (PMCCs) has been well established to resolve the issues as well as to promote the practical applications of alkali metal anodes. Moreover, the proposal of PMCCs can meet the requirement of the dendrite-free battery fabrication industry, while the electrode material loading exactly needs the metal current collector component as well. Here, a systematic survey on advanced PMCCs for Li, Na, and K alkali metal anodes is presented, including their development timeline, categories, fabrication methods, and working mechanism. On this basis, some significant methodology advances to control pore structure, surface area, surface wettability, and mechanical properties are systematically summarized. Further, the existing issues and the development prospects of PMCCs to improve anode performance in alkali metal batteries are discussed.

Abstract
Lithium metal anode possesses overwhelming capacity and low potential but suffers from dendrite growth and pulverization, causing short lifespan and low utilization. Here, a fundamental novel insight of using single-atomic catalyst (SAC) activators to boost lithium atom diffusion is proposed to realize delocalized deposition. By combining electronic microscopies, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, theoretical simulations, and electrochemical analyses, we have unambiguously depicted that the SACs serve as kinetic activators in propelling the surface spreading and lateral redistribution of the lithium atoms for achieving dendrite-free plating morphology. Under the impressive capacity of 20 mA h cm-2, the Li modified with SAC-activator exhibits a low overpotential of ∼50 mV at 5 mA cm-2, a long lifespan of 900 h, and high Coulombic efficiencies during 150 cycles, much better than most literature reports. The so-coupled lithium-sulfur full battery delivers high cycling and rate performances, showing great promise toward the next-generation lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Confining Li metal in a three-dimensional (3D) matrix has been proven effective in improving the Li-metal anodes; however, in most studies, the loading of Li in the 3D matrix is far excessive, resulting in a dense bulk Li-metal anode with a low Li-utilization rate, forfeiting the effect of the 3D matrix. Here, we show that limiting the loading of Li metal within an interface-modified 3D carbon matrix not only increases the Li-utilization rate but also improves the electrochemical performance of the Li-metal anode. We use lithiophilic Fe2O3 granules anchored on a 3D carbon fiber scaffold to guide molten Li dispersion onto the fibers with controlled Li loading. Limiting Li loading maximizes the interface lithiophilic effect of the Fe2O3 granules while preserving sufficient space for electrolyte infusion, collectively ensuring uniform Li deposition and fast Li+ transport kinetics. The Li anode with limited Li dosage achieves remarkably improved Li-anode performances, including long lifespan, low voltage polarization, and low electrochemical resistance in both the symmetric cells and full cells. The improved electrochemical performance of the limited Li anode substantiates the importance to reduce Li loading from a fresh perspective and provides an avenue for building practical Li-metal batteries.

Abstract
The direct chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique has stimulated an enormous scientific and industrial interest to enable the conformal growth of graphene over multifarious substrates, which readily bypasses tedious transfer procedure and empowers innovative materials paradigm. Compared to the prevailing graphene materials (i.e., reduced graphene oxide and liquid-phase exfoliated graphene), the direct-CVD-enabled graphene harnesses appealing structural advantages and physicochemical properties, accordingly playing a pivotal role in the realm of electrochemical energy storage. Despite conspicuous progress achieved in this frontier, a comprehensive overview is still lacking by far and the synthesis-structure-property-application nexus of direct-CVD-enabled graphene remains elusive. In this topical review, rather than simply compiling the state-of-the-art advancements, the versatile roles of direct-CVD-enabled graphene are itemized as (i) modificator, (ii) cultivator, (iii) defender, and (iv) decider. Furthermore, essential effects on the performance optimization are elucidated, with an emphasis on fundamental properties and underlying mechanisms. At the end, perspectives with respect to the material production and device fabrication are sketched, aiming to navigate the future development of direct-CVD-enabled graphene en-route toward pragmatic energy applications and beyond.

Abstract
A fluorinated amide molecule with two functional segments, namely, an amide group with a high donor number to bind lithium ions and a fluorine chain to expel carbonate solvents and mediate the formation of LiF, was designed to regulate the interfacial chemistry. As expected, the additive preferably appears in the first solvation sheath of lithium ions and is electrochemically reduced on the anode, and thus an inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interphase is generated. The morphology of deposited lithium metal evolves from brittle dendrites into a granular shape. Consequently, the Li||LiFePO4 cell shows an excellent capacity retention of 92.7% at a high rate of 5 C after 800 cycles. Besides, the Li||LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cell succeeds to maintain 98.1% of the initial capacity after 100 cycles at 1 C. Our designing of N,N-diethyl- 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropionamide (denoted as DETFP) highlights the importance of a "high donor number" and may shed light on the design principles of electrolytes for high performance batteries.

Abstract
Stable lithiophilic sites in 3D current collectors are the key to guiding the uniform Li deposition and thus suppressing the Li dendrite growth, but such sites created by the conventional surface decoration method are easy to be consumed along with cycling. In this work, carbon fiber (CF)-based 3D porous networks with built-in lithiophilic sites that are stable upon cycling are demonstrated. Such heterostructured architecture is constructed by the introduction of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8-based nanoparticles during the formation of the 3D fibrous carbonaceous network and the following annealing. The introduced Zn species are found to be re-distributed along the entire individual CF in the 3D network, and function as lithiophilic sites that favor the homogenous lithium nucleation and growth. The 3D network also presents a multi-scale porous structure that improves the space utilization of the host. The corresponding symmetric cells adopting such 3D anode demonstrate excellent cycling performance, especially at a high rate (300 cycles at 10 mA cm-2 with a capacity of 5 mA h cm-2 ). A full cell with LiFePO4 cathode shows a capacity retention of 98% after cycling at 1C for 300 cycles. This method provides an effective design strategy for 3D hosting electrodes in dendrite-free alkali metal anode applications.

Abstract
Although numerous studies on polymeric protective films to stabilize lithium (Li)-metal electrodes have been reported, the construction of self-healing polymers that enables the long-term operation of Li-metal batteries (LMBs) at relatively low temperatures has rarely been demonstrated. Herein, a highly stretchable, autonomous self-healable, and ionic-conducting polymer network (SHIPN) is synthesized as an efficient protective film for LMBs. The network backbone, synthesized from copolymerization of poly(ethylene glycol)-mono-methacrylate (PEGMMA) and 2-[[(butylamino)carbonyl]oxy]ethyl acrylate (BCOE), is chemically cross-linked via diisocyanate. With SHIPN-modified electrodes, enhanced electrochemical performance can be achieved in Li/Cu, Li/Li, and Li/LiFePO4 (Li/LFP) cells. The SHIPN@Li/LFP cell delivers a capacity retention of 85.6% after 500 cycles at 5 °C, resulting from the low-temperature self-healability of SHIPN. In full cells with a high-mass-loading LFP cathode (∼17 mg cm-2), the capacity retention is at least 300% higher than that with a bare Li electrode. Further physical characterizations of electrodes confirm the effect of SHIPN in enhancing the interfacial stability and suppressing Li dendrite growth. Our results will provide insights into rationally designing soft and hybrid materials toward stable LMBs at different temperatures.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) has garnered considerable attention as an alternative anodes of next-generation high-performance batteries owing to its prominent theoretical specific capacity. However, the commercialization of Li metal anodes (LMAs) is significantly compromised by non-uniform Li deposition and inferior electrolyte-anode interfaces, particularly at high currents and capacities. Herein, a hierarchical three-dimentional structure with CoSe2 -nanoparticle-anchored nitrogen-doped carbon nanoflake arrays is developed on a carbon fiber cloth (CoSe2 -NC@CFC) to regulate the Li nucleation/plating process and stabilize the electrolyte-anode interface. Owing to the enhanced lithiophilicity endowed by CoSe2 -NC, in situ-formed Li2 Se and Co nanoparticles during initial Li nucleation, and large void space, CoSe2 -NC@CFC can induce homogeneous Li nucleation/plating, optimize the solid electrolyte interface, and mitigate volume change. Consequently, the CoSe2 -NC@CFC can accommodate Li with a high areal capacity of up to 40 mAh cm-2 . Moreover, the Li/CoSe2 -NC@CFC anodes possess outstanding cycling stability and lifespan in symmetric cells, particularly under ultrahigh currents and capacities (1600 h at 10 mA cm-2 /10 mAh cm-2 and 5 mA cm-2 /20 mAh cm-2 ). The Li/CoSe2 -NC@CFC//LiFePO4 full cell delivers impressive long-term performance and favorable flexibility. The developed CoSe2 -NC@CFC provides insights into the development of advanced Li hosts for flexible and stable LMAs.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-metal batteries with a cell-level specific energy of >400 Wh kg-1 are highly desired for next-generation storage applications, yet the research has been retarded by poor electrolyte-electrode compatibility and rigorous safety concerns. We demonstrate that by simply formulating the composition of conventional electrolytes, a hybrid electrolyte was constructed to ensure high (electro)chemical and thermal stability with both the Li-metal anode and the nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes. By employing the new electrolyte, Li∥LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 O2 cells show favorable cycling and rate performance, and a 10 Ah Li∥LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 pouch cell demonstrates a practical specific energy of >450 Wh kg-1 . Our findings shed light on reasonable design principles for electrolyte and electrode/electrolyte interfaces toward practical realization of high-energy rechargeable batteries.
