Environmental pollution and critical materials loss from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a
major global concern. Practical LIB recycling obviates pollution, saves resources and boosts …

Li-metal battery systems are attractive for next-generation high-energy batteries due to their
high theoretical specific capacity and Li-metal's low redox potential. Anode-free Li-metal …

In recent years, solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) using solid electrolytes (SEs) have been
widely recognized as the key next-generation energy storage technology due to its high …

Anode-free batteries possess the optimal cell architecture due to their reduced weight,
volume and cost. However, their implementation has been limited by unstable anode …

Anode‐free solid‐state lithium batteries are promising for next‐generation energy storage
systems, especially the mobile sectors, due to their enhanced energy density, improved …

Lithium (Li)‐based batteries are gradually evolving from the liquid to the solid state in terms
of safety and energy density, where all solid‐state Li–metal batteries (ASSLMBs) are …

A stable anode‐free all‐solid‐state battery (AF‐ASSB) with sulfide‐based solid‐electrolyte
(SE)(argyrodite Li6PS5Cl) is achieved by tuning wetting of lithium metal on “empty” copper …

At present, the energy density of the mainstream lithium iron phosphate battery and ternary
lithium battery is between 200 and 300 Wh kg− 1 or even< 200 Wh kg− 1, which can hardly …

Anode‐free sodium metal battery (AFSMB) promises high energy density but suffers from the
difficulty of maintaining high cycling stability. Nonuniform sodium (Na) deposition on the …

Current lithium (Li)‐metal anodes are not sustainable for the mass production of future
energy storage devices because they are inherently unsafe, expensive, and environmentally …
