Abstract

Abstract : The practical application of Li anodes is significantly hindered by the growth of Li dendrites that may cause severe safety issues. To inhibit the Li dendrites, coating an artificial layer on the Li metal anode has been proved as a facile and effective approach. In their review on page 4193 ff., Shijun Zhang, Zhengjin Yang, Liangliang Qu, Weixia Zhang and co‐workers look at recent advances in artificial layers for stable Li metal anodes. Different types of artificial layers according to their mechanisms for Li dendrite inhibition, including regulation of uniform deposition of Li metal and suppression of Li dendrite growth, are discussed.
