Abstract:
The non-uniform plating-stripping behaviours of Li metal anodes hinder the application of Li metal batteries. Here, a stable 3D matrix is designed by coating a carbon skeleton with MXene, and the significant influence of the crystallographic texture of Li metal on electrochemical behaviour is investigated. The results demonstrate that the 3D MXene/carbon skeleton can effectively induce the evolution of advantageous Li(110) facets with a dendrite-free anode interface. Consequently, the modified Li metal anodes deliver stable plating-stripping behaviours.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
