Universal lithiophilic interfacial layers towards dendrite-free lithium anodes for solid-state lithium-metal batteries

Solid-state lithium-metal batteries (SSLMBs) using garnet Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) as the solid electrolyte are expected to conquer the safety concerns of high energy Li batteries with organic liquid electrolytes owing to its nonflammable nature and good mechanical strength. However, the poor interfacial contact between the Li anode and LLZTO greatly restrains the practical applications of the electrolyte, because large polarization,...
