Abstract:

Alloy anode with good reversibility of lithium plating/stripping and long cycling stability is considered as promising anode materials. Here, Cu-Sn alloy is used as the substrate for Li deposition to induce the most densely packed arrangement of Li atoms, thus presenting high lithiophilicity and improving Li plating behaviors. The LiFePO4-based full cell with the as-prepared dendrite-free Li metal anode retained at 85 mAh g-1 with a high coulombic efficiency of 99.5% after 300 cycles, presenting a capacity retention of 79.4%. This strategy provides a new perspective to structure dendrite-free Li anode for the next-generation high-energy density batteries.
