Does an LaCl3-based lithium superionic conductor work well for anode-free lithium metal batteries?

Poor electrode interface contact with Li greatly limits oxide solid electrolytes in all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs). In a recent issue of Nature, Yao and coworkers developed an LaCl3-based lithium superionic conductor possessing excellent interfacial compatibility with lithium metal electrodes, which may have great potential for anode-free LMBs.
