Electrochemically induced highly ion conductive porous scaffolds to stabilize lithium deposition for lithium metal anodes

The electrochemically-induced lithiophilic Li–Zn alloy scaffold with high ionic conductivity, together with the Li₂O passivated surface, can reduce the nucleation overpotential of Li deposition, enhance the Li⁺ ions diffusion and guide the homogeneous nucleation of Li, and thus suppressing the lithium dendrite growth.
