“…A stable Li metal anode is a key point for the practical application of Li metal battery (LMB) (Cheng et al, 2017;Lu et al, 2014;Qiao et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2018). Therefore, explorations on non-dendrite anode and reducing dead Li are eagerly required, such as high-modulus SEI film coating on Li metal (Liu et al, 2019a;Shi et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2017b), high-surface-energy substrate (Hou et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2017a), low local current density (Zhang et al, 2017), more reaction sites , cross-linking film (Zhao et al, 2019), and so on (Liang et al, 2019;Westover et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2019). However, once the uncontrollable dendrite occurs, the negative feedback cycle (SEI broken, dendrite worsen and so on) that follows would cause Li metal anode's failure quickly.…”
