Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) offer high energy density but suffer from uneven lithium deposition and dendrite formation.
  • This uneven deposition compromises battery safety and cycle life, hindering practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel current collector for lithium metal anodes to ensure uniform lithium deposition and improve battery performance.
  • To investigate the efficacy of a high specific surface area carbon cloth functionalized with nano zinc oxide (CC@ZnO) as a lithium metal anode collector.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a composite carbon cloth (CC@ZnO) with uniformly dispersed nano zinc oxide.
  • Utilizing the CC@ZnO as a current collector in lithium-metal asymmetrical batteries.
  • Electrochemical testing, including cycling performance and Coulombic efficiency measurements.

Main Results:

  • The CC@ZnO collector demonstrated uniform lithium nucleation and growth due to the lithophilicity of zinc oxide.
  • The high surface area of the CC@ZnO facilitated metallic lithium nucleation within the collector, mitigating issues associated with hostless anodes.
  • Achieved a high Coulombic efficiency of 97.6% over 120 cycles at 3 mA cm⁻² with a deposition capacity of 3 mAh cm⁻² in an ether electrolyte.

Conclusions:

  • The CC@ZnO composite serves as an effective current collector for lithium metal anodes.
  • This approach significantly enhances the Coulombic efficiency and stability of lithium deposition/stripping in LMBs.
  • The developed material shows promise for advancing the practical application of high-energy lithium metal batteries.
