TL;DR: Experimental and computational results reveal that the oxide coating enables wetting of metallic lithium in contact with the garnet electrolyte surface and the lithiated-alumina interface allows effective lithium ion transport between the lithium metal anode and garnets electrolyte.

TL;DR: This work reports for the first time, to the authors' knowledge, a 3D lithium-ion–conducting ceramic network based on garnet-type Li6.4La3Zr2Al0.2O12 (LLZO) lithium-ions conductor to provide continuous Li+ transfer channels in a polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based composite and provides structural reinforcement to enhance the mechanical properties of the polymer matrix.

TL;DR: An improved capacity retention is demonstrated using ALD-protected anodes over cells assembled with bare Li metal anodes for up to 100 cycles using Li-S battery cells as a test system.

TL;DR: Because of the efficient 1D sodium-ion transport pathway and the highly conductive network of SbNP@C, the electrode preserved high overall capacities even when cycled at high currents, extending its usability to high power applications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an anode consisting of a Sn thin film deposited on a hierarchical wood fiber substrate simultaneously addresses all the challenges associated with Sn anodes.
