Design principles of MOF-related materials for highly stable metal anodes in secondary metal-based batteries

Secondary metal-based batteries (lithium metal batteries, sodium metal batteries, and zinc metal batteries) have appealed to increasing attention because of their high energy density. However, uncontrolled metal dendrite growth and infinite volume expansion can readily cause cycle performance deterioration and serious security concerns, which restrict their practical applications to a large extent. Recently, some coping strategies based on...
