Lithium-Metal Anodes: Incorporating Ionic Paths into 3D Conducting Scaffolds for High Volumetric and Areal Capacity, High Rate Lithium-Metal Anodes (Adv. Mater. 33/2018)

In article number 1801328, Jiayan Luo and co-workers fabricate a mixed ion and electron conducting scaffold for high volumetric and areal capacity, high-rate lithium-metal anodes. The well-dispersed LLZO nanoparticles in the carbon-nanofiber skeleton improve the electrolyte wettability, homogenize the Li+ flux, compensate Li+ depletion during plating, and provide excess charge carriers during stripping.
