“…Li metal is recognized as one of perfect anodes for LIBs owing to its lowest reduction potential (−3.04 V vs. the standard hydrogen potential electrode) and ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (3,860 mAh g −1 ) (Xu et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2017;Xue et al, 2019b). Nevertheless, working risks come from the uncontrolled Li dendrites formation and side-reactions of highly active Li with the electrolyte, which will induce Li metal batteries (LMBs) short circuit (Aurbach et al, 2002;Qian et al, 2015;Takeda et al, 2016;Yan et al, 2016;Guo et al, 2017;Sahalie et al, 2019). To settle these problems, great efforts have been devoted to improve the stability of Li metal anode.…”
