TLDR
In this Review, the failure mechanisms of Li metal anodes are ascribed to high reactivity of lithium, virtually infinite volume changes, and notorious dendrite growth.Abstract:
Rechargeable batteries are regarded as the most promising candidates for practical applications in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. In recent decades, lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have been extensively studied due to their ultrahigh energy densities. However, short lifespan and poor safety caused by uncontrollable dendrite growth hinder their commercial applications. Besides, a clear understanding of Li nucleation and growth has not yet been obtained. In this Review, the failure mechanisms of Li metal anodes are ascribed to high reactivity of lithium, virtually infinite volume changes, and notorious dendrite growth. The principles of Li deposition nucleation and early dendrite growth are discussed and summarized. Correspondingly, four rational strategies of controlling nucleation are proposed to guide Li nucleation and growth. Finally, perspectives for understanding the Li metal deposition process and realizing safe and high-energy rechargeable LMBs are given.read more

Lithium Metal Anode Materials Design: Interphase and Host
TL;DR: Li metal is the ultimate anode choice due to its highest theoretical capacity and lowest electrode potential, but it is far from practical applications with its poor cycle lifetime as discussed by the authors. But, despite the exciting improvement on Li metal cycling capability, problems still exist with these methodologies, such as the deficient long-time cycling stability of interphase materials and the accelerated Li corrosion for high surface area three-dimensional composite Li anodes.

TL;DR: New strategies are needed for batteries that go beyond powering hand-held devices, such as using electrode hosts with two-electron redox centers; replacing the cathode hosts by materials that undergo displacement reactions; and developing a Li(+) solid electrolyte separator membrane that allows an organic and aqueous liquid electrolyte on the anode and cathode sides, respectively.
