Article Abstract
Anode-free Li metal batteries are an excellent choice for developing the next generation of high-energy-density battery systems. However, due to poor chemical compatibility between the current collector and electrolyte interface, the Li electrodeposition on current collectors faces a huge challenge of rapid capacity degradation in anode-free Li metal batteries. Herein, a strategy for modifying an ultrathin black phosphorene (BP) mixed ion/electron conductor interface layer on the surface of a current collector by relying on pressure is proposed. The BP hybrid interface layer is formed in situ on the surface of the current collector solely by pressure compared with traditional current collector modification technology, and there is no powder shedding phenomenon in the absence of a binder. Moreover, the Cu-NCM811 cell matched with high mass loading cathodes exhibits excellent capacity retention and an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.1%. The relevant result has established the foundation for the development of long cycling anode-free Li metal batteries.

Anode-free lithium (Li) metal batteries are promising candidates for high-performance energy storage applications. Nonetheless, their translation into practical applications has been hindered by the slow kinetics and reversibility of Li plating and stripping on copper foils. Here we report a two-dimensional polyamide (2DPA)/lithiated Nafion (LN) interphase layer for anode-free Li metal batteries.

Anode-free sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs), which eliminate the need for a lithium metal anode during fabrication, offer superior energy density, enhanced safety, and simplified manufacturing. Their performance is largely influenced by the interfacial properties of the current collectors. Although previous studies have investigated the degradation of sulfide electrolytes on commonly used copper (Cu) and stainless steel (SS) current collectors, the impact of spontaneously formed surface oxides, such as copper oxide (CuO/CuO) and chromium oxide (CrO), on interfacial stability remains underexplored.

Understanding the electrochemical extraction and deposition of lithium (Li) from cathode is crucial for advancing anode-free solid-state batteries (AFSSBs). Herein, cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and electrochemical studies are employed to investigate how current collector surface properties, current densities, and cathode loadings influence the morphology of fresh electrochemically deposited Li and the electrochemical performance in sulfide-based AFSSBs. Cryo-TEM reveals that Cu current collectors induce irregular, dendritic Li deposits due to their lithiophobic nature and reactivity with LiPSCl (LPSC), while Ni and Au facilitate more uniform, planar-like Li growth.

Metallic sodium (Na) is an attractive anode material for sodium metal batteries (SMBs) due to its high theoretical capacity and natural abundance. However, the unstable electrolyte/electrode interface and uncontrollable Na dendrite growth arising from the inhomogeneous Na transfer have significantly restricted its practical feasibility. Herein, the topological insulator of bismuth selenide (BiSe), which has protected conducting states on its surface, is selected as a regulator to guide uniform Na transfer.

Aqueous electrolytic Zn-MnO batteries hold great promise for energy storage applications owing to their high theoretical electromotive force and energy density. However, the zinc anode suffers from severe corrosion in strongly acidic electrolytes, leading to hydrogen evolution, low zinc utilization, and premature battery failure. To address these challenges, isoquinoline is introduced as an additive in a chloride-based acidic electrolyte.
