Abstract

Abstract: The lithium metal has been considered as a competitive material for anode on the high-energy storage battery because of its various advantages, such as high capacity, low density, and the lowest electrochemical potential. However, the uncontrolled dendritic growth on the anode surface could cause the short circuit, even explosion of the battery. Therefore, strategies about how to effectively inhibit the formation of dendrites is of great importance. This paper will first give a brief introduction on the growth of dendrites. The attention is then focused on the recent advancements to suppress the dendrite growth of lithium metal, such as the optimization of electrolyte, application of artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), and the modification of lithium anode. The future research directions will be presented at the end.
