Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries have had a profound impact on our daily life, but inherent limitations make it difficult for Li-ion chemistries to meet the growing demands for portable electronics, electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. Therefore, chemistries beyond Li-ion are currently being investigated and need to be made viable for commercial applications. The use of metallic Li is one of the most favoured choices for next-generation Li batteries, especially Li–S and Li–air systems. After falling into oblivion for several decades because of safety concerns, metallic Li is now ready for a revival, thanks to the development of investigative tools and nanotechnology-based solutions. In this Review, we first summarize the current understanding on Li anodes, then highlight the recent key progress in materials design and advanced characterization techniques, and finally discuss the opportunities and possible directions for future development of Li anodes in applications.

振兴高能电池的锂金属阳极

锂离子电池对我们的日常生活产生了深远的影响，但由于其固有的局限性，锂离子化学物质很难满足便携式电子产品、电动汽车和电网储能日益增长的需求。因此，目前正在研究锂离子以外的化学物质，并需要使其在商业应用中具有可行性。使用金属锂是下一代锂电池，尤其是锂-S 和锂-空气系统最受欢迎的选择之一。由于安全问题，金属锂已经被遗忘了几十年，现在，由于研究工具和基于纳米技术的解决方案的发展，金属锂已经做好了复兴的准备。在本综述中，我们首先总结了目前对锂阳极的认识，然后重点介绍了最近在材料设计和先进表征技术方面取得的主要进展，最后讨论了锂阳极在未来应用中的发展机遇和可能方向。
