“…Its chemically designed surface is also beneficial to the affinity between the scaffold and Li and decreases nucleation overpotential. The conductive skeleton with high surface area could decrease current density, retard Li dendrite growth, and offer space for Li volume expansion, showing great superiority as a host for Li metal anodes. − Among the candidates, carbon cloth (CC) is a well-known scaffold material .

Li metal anodes possess the largest energy density among all anode candidates, while dendrite growth is a huge barrier for its application. Herein, carbon cloth modified with ZnO–CoO particles is synthesized as a host for Li metal anodes (Li-ZnO–CoO/CC). During plating, Li tends to first fill the inside space of the Li-ZnO–CoO/CC, while in stripping, Li will be stripped from the surface. In addition, the three-dimensional (3D) structure could enable an internal space for Li deposition and alleviate Li volume expansion. As a result, ZnO–CoO/CC has better lithiophilic properties and a lower nucleation overpotential (1.2 mV), leading to over 600 h of stable Li plating/stripping at 5 mA cm–2–1 mAh cm–2 for a voltage hysteresis of 15.5 mV. In addition, the NCM523||Li-ZnO–CoO/CC cell exhibits a capacity retention of 92.4% at 0.3 C for 300 cycles. This work creates a valid design of a double-lithiophilic spot carbon cloth-based Li metal anode.

“…S7 and S8, ESI†), suggesting that stripping–plating behaviours gradually became uniform with cycling. This self-healing electrochemical phenomenon is often discovered on MXene-based metal electrodes, 7,16,19 while it is uncommon in CC-modified metal Li electrodes obtained from the molten process without MXene, 9,12 indicating that the favourable guiding deposition effect may come from MXene rather than CC and molten–cooling Li.…”

“…Carbon scaffolds are popular in Li metal batteries due to their unique advantages, such as low density, natural abundance, favourable flexibility, and electrochemical stability. 12,13 However, it is impossible to directly adopt them as effective hosts for metallic Li due to their unwelcome lithiophobic natures. 14 Thus, it is necessary to find an effective and facile way to improve the metallic wettability of carbon skeletons and make them effective hosts.…”

“…Other approaches, such as insertion of an interlayer and applying compressive force during Li deposition, have also been widely adopted to protect the LMA from Li dendrite formation or propagation. [18][19][20] The practical design of conductive 3D collectors to adapt to the infinite volume change of Li metal is the most promising method, which includes 3D copper collector, [13,21] 3D foam nickel, [22,23] alloy compound, [24,25] and carbon materials, [3,5,26,27] etc. Among various 3D porous substrates, 3D carbon materials have been regarded as an optimum host for metallic Li due to their lightweight, adjustable physicochemical properties, high electronic conductivity, and low cost.…”

The lithium metal anode is a competitive candidate for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries for its low redox potential and ultra‐high theoretical specific capacity. Nevertheless, obstacles regarding heterogeneous lithium deposition, dendrite growth, and poor Coulombic efficiency limit its practical application. Among rational electrode designs, carbon materials have been regarded as feasible hosts for stabilizing lithium to address the above issues due to their light weight, high conductivity, and adjustable physicochemical properties. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been made to design stereoscopic carbon materials with multitudinous lithiophilic sites and large specific surface areas to facilitate rapid lithium‐ion flux, nucleation and mitigate lithium dendrite formation by controlling the kinetics of lithium deposition. Furthermore, the mechanism of lithium plating/stripping is commendably elucidated with the help of advanced in situ characterization techniques. This progress report systematically reviews progress in carbon materials/lithium composite anodes for lithium metal batteries and the detailed parts are as follows: 1) carbon/lithium composite methods; 2) design lithiophilic mechanism; 3) various carbon materials substrates; 4) advanced in situ characterization techniques for lithium metal anodes; and 5) prospects toward the practical applications of advanced lithium metal batteries. This review provides new insights into lithium metal batteries’ technological development and practical application.
