摘要

Lithium metal has a high theoretical capacity of 3860 mAh g-1 and a low electrochemical potential (-3.04V vs.H2/H+).Hence,using a lithium anode significantly improves the energy density of a secondary battery.However,the lithium dendrites generated on the lithium anode during the platingdissolution process significantly reduce its cycling life and safety.Here,we provide a simple method for lithium anode protection,by applying a free-standing porous carbon film with a high specific surface area to reduce the local current density and obtain a homogenous ion distribution.The protected lithium anode has a long cycle life over 1000 h when cycled at 3 mA cm-2 with a lithium capacity of 2.5 mAh cm-2.Moreover,the deposited lithium has a smoother surface than Li anode without carbon protection.This study will promote the wide application of Li-metal-based batteries with high safety levels.
