Lithium metal anodes provide a direction for the development of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. To overcome lithium dendritic growth and low Coulombic efficiency in lithium plating/stripping processes, the design of a three-dimensional (3D) host structure is a feasible solution. Herein, copper nanowires -coated with a carbon-rich conjugated framework, poly(1,3,5-triethynylbenzene), and grown on copper foam were constructed as a 3D lithium host, and shown to effectively yield a low nucleation overpotential, smooth lithium deposition, and improved cycling stability. This well-designed 3D host structure achieved a high Coulombic efficiency of over 99% for 150 cycles and showed reversible lithium plating/stripping stability for over 800 h at 2 mA cm. This work has highlighted the benefits of using an interface modification strategy, and provided a feasible route for 3D host structure design in the development of lithium metal anodes.

Controlling the nucleation, growth, and dissolution of Li is crucial for the high cycling stability in rechargeable Li metal batteries. The overpotential for Li nucleation (η) on Li alloys such as Li-Au is generally lower than that on metal current collectors (CCs) with very limited Li solubility like Cu. However, the alloying process of CC and its impact on the Li nucleation kinetics remain unclear.

The increasing use of lithium (Li) in modern technology and medicine has raised up concerns in the scientific community due to the potential impact of this metal on the aquatic environment. Although several effects have been reported in different organisms, there is still scarce information concerning the mechanisms and chronic effects of Li toxicity in marine life. Our main objective is to determine biological effects of sub-lethal concentrations in Mytilus galloprovincialis at different biological organization levels using the biomarker approach.

Ether-based electrolytes are known for their high stability with lithium metal anodes (LMAs), but they often exhibit poor high-voltage stability. Structural optimization of ether-based solvent molecules has been proven to effectively broaden the electrochemical window of these electrolytes, yet the optimization rules within cyclic ethers remain unclear. Herein, we investigate the impact of methyl substitution positions on the molecular properties of 1,3-dioxolane (DOL), a commonly used cyclic ether.

The formation and growth of lithium dendrites is an ever-present and urgent problem in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). At the same time, the low melting point of commercial polyolefin separators may lead to safety issues during application. On this basis, in this work, poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA)/Zr-based metal-organic framework (NH-UiO-66) composite separator was prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS).
