Improving Li Plating Behaviors Through Cu–Sn Alloy-Coated Current Collector for Dendrite-Free Lithium Metal Anodes

  • Published:
Acta Metallurgica Sinica (English Letters) Aims and scope

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.
