主 题:lithium metal anode lithium dendrite current collector zinc layer
摘 要:Lithium metal is commonly regarded as the“Holy Grailanode material for high energy density rechargeable ***,the uncontrollable growth of Li dendrites has posed safety concerns and thus greatly hindered its large-scale *** we have modified the surface of a commercial anode current collector,Cu foil,with a thin layer of Zn by a facile electroplating method,in order to regulate the Li nucleation and the following growth *** of the formation of a solid solution buffer layer and Li-Zn alloy phases,the Li nucleation overpotential was dramatically reduced,realizing a uniform Li nucleation and a smooth Li plating *** a result,significantly improved long-term cycling performance with a high Coulombic efficiency was achieved by the lithiophilic Zn coated Cu foil as a current *** cells of Li-LiFePO4 and Li-S using the Li deposited on the Zn modified Cu as the anode,showed increased capacity with low voltage hysteresis and greatly enhanced cycling stability,ascribed to the uniform Li deposition and formation of a stable SEI *** work demonstrates the feasibility of employing lithiophilic modified Cu foils as Li metal current collectors for practical applications.
