Summary: A 3D Li host functionalized by a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) layer is used to address the issues of dendrites growth, side reactions and volume fluctuation in Li metal anodes. The PVA layer acts as a stable artificial solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) with high ionic conductivity, preventing direct contact between Li metal and electrolyte. Moreover, the hydroxyl (-OH) groups in PVA effectively regulate Li plating/stripping behavior. The results show superior long-term stability and high Coulombic efficiency in the symmetric cell and full cell configurations.

Summary: A strategy of using saturated fatty acid-zinc interfacial layer to modulate the interfacial redox process of zinc for ultrastable Zn metal anodes is proposed. The in situ complexing of saturated fatty acid-zinc interphases can construct a thin zinc compound layer with zincophilic sites that regulate Zn nucleation and deposition behaviors. The multifunctional interfacial layer with internal hydrophobic carbon chains as a protective layer efficiently excludes active water molecules and inhibits the surface corrosion of zinc. The modified anode shows a long cycle life of over 4000 h at 5 mA cm-2.
