Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Lithium metal anodes (LMAs) promise high-energy-density batteries but face challenges with lithium dendrite formation.
  • Dendrites impede the practical deployment of LMAs in applications like electric vehicles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the lithiophilicity of copper current collectors (CCs) for improved lithium metal anode performance.
  • To investigate the effectiveness of indium (In) coatings on 3D CCs for dendrite suppression.

Main Methods:

  • Electrochemical deposition of indium films onto 3D copper current collectors.
  • Annealing the indium-coated copper at 450 °C for 2 hours.
  • Electrochemical performance evaluation in symmetric and anode-free cells.

Main Results:

  • Both unannealed and annealed indium coatings resulted in dendrite-free lithium morphology.
  • Indium coatings promoted low surface area lithium deposits.
  • Cells with indium-coated CCs demonstrated enhanced cycling stability compared to bare CCs.

Conclusions:

  • Indium coatings offer a simple, scalable, and cost-effective method to improve copper current collector lithiophilicity.
  • This approach effectively suppresses lithium dendrite growth, enhancing LMA stability.
  • The findings support the practical application of LMAs in next-generation batteries.
