- Abstract
A 3D host decorated with lithiophilic sites has emerged as a promising strategy to stabilize lithium metal anode by guiding uniform Li deposition and relieving volume fluctuations. Herein, the evolution process of lithiophilic sites in a 3D host under practical conditions is disclosed in a typical system with metal‐based lithiophilic sites. Lithiophilic sites decreasing nucleation overpotential, however this effect gradually disappears during cycles under practical conditions. The significantly increased cycling capacity under practical conditions results in a rapid accumulation of dead Li compared with mild conditions. The dead Li covers the lithiophilic sites and blocks the diffusion channels of Li ions to the lithiophilic sites, failing to decrease the nucleation overpotentials. Once the dead Li has been removed after long cycles, the lithiophilic sites can still work. This work discloses the failure mechanism of lithiophilic sites and provides a guideline for designing lithiophilic hosts under practical conditions.
