TL;DR: In this article, various factors that affect the morphology and Coulombic efficiency of Li metal anodes have been analyzed, and the results obtained by modelling of Li dendrite growth have also been reviewed.

TL;DR: The growth of dendrite-free lithium films with a self-aligned and highly compacted nanorod structure when the film was deposited in the electrolyte consisting of 1.0 M LiPF6 in propylene carbonate with 0.05 M CsPF6 as an additive is reported for the first time.

TL;DR: In this article, a trace amount of residual water (H2O) derived from the decomposition reaction of LiPF6 with H2O is reduced during the initial Li deposition process to form a uniform and dense LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on the surface of the substrate.

TL;DR: An operando TEM electrochemical liquid cell is developed, providing the configuration of a real battery and in a relevant liquid electrolyte, and discovered new insights different from the open cell configuration-the dynamics of the electrolyte and, potentially, a future quantitative characterization of the solid electrolyte interphase layer formation and structural and chemical evolution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different carbonate solvents and Li salts on Li deposition morphology and Li Coulombic efficiency were systematically investigated, and cyclic carbonates are found to favor the formation of uniform Li film and improve Li CE than linear carbonates do.
