Lithium-coated polymeric matrix as a minimum volume-change and dendrite-free lithium metal anode

Lithium metal is a promising anode for batteries, but problems such as volume change and dendrite growth currently prevent it from practical usage. Here, the authors overcome these problems by infusing molten lithium into a polymeric matrix via a lithiophilic coating to make a stable nanoporous lith...
