Ag coated 3D-Cu foam as a lithiophilic current collector for enabling Li2S-based anode-free batteries
Abstract:
Stabilizing lithium deposition and reducing excess lithium are the key factors to realize the practicability of lithium-metal batteries. Here, we construct an anode-free full battery, in which Ag coated three-dimensional Cu foam (Ag@3D-Cu) is applied as a lithiophilic current collector to regulate the lithium deposition while the Li2S-based electrode is used as a cathode to avoid excess lithium.

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Electrodeposition
915
Electrodeposition is a technique used to separate an analyte from interferents by electrochemical processes. Here, the analyte is a metal ion that can be deposited on an electrode immersed in the sample solution. The electrochemical setup consists of an anode and a cathode. When an electric current is applied to the setup, oxidation occurs at the anode. At the cathode, which consists of a large metal surface, metal ions undergo reduction and deposit onto the surface.
