- Abstract
Rational structure design of the current collector along with further engineering of the solid‐electrolyte interphases (SEI) layer is one of the most promising strategies to achieve uniform Li deposition and inhibit uncontrolled growth of Li dendrites. Here, a Li2S layer as an artificial SEI with high compositional uniformity and high lithium ion conductivity is in situ generated on the surface of the 3D porous Cu current collector to regulate homogeneous Li plating/stripping. Both simulations and experiments demonstrate that the Li2S protective layer can passivate the porous Cu skeleton and balance the transport rate of lithium ions and electrons, thereby alleviating the agglomerated Li deposition at the top of the electrode or at the defect area of the SEI layer. As a result, the modified current collector exhibits long‐term cycling of 500 cycles at 1 mA cm−2 and stable electrodeposition capabilities of 4 mAh cm−2 at an ultrahigh current density of 4 mA cm−2. Furthermore, full batteries (LiFePO4 as cathode) paired with this designed 3D anode with only ≈200% extra lithium show superior stability and rate performance than the batteries paired with lithium foil (≈3000% extra lithium). These explorations provide new strategies for developing high‐performance Li metal anodes.
