Abstract:
A lightweight ZnO-functionalized carbon paper is developed as an intelligent current collector that guides uniform spherical nucleation and compact Li deposition, suppressing dendrite growth and volume expansion while outperforming conventional Cu foils. This study provides new insights into the rational design of current collectors, presenting a substrate-guided Li deposition strategy for high-energy-density LMBs.
