Amide-Based Interface Layer with High Toughness In Situ Building on the Li Metal Anode

Lithium metal is considered to be the ultimate anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its ultrahigh capacity and lowest electrochemical potential. However, the high reactivity of the lithium metal triggers continuous electrolyte consumption and dendrite growth, resulting in short cycle lifetime and serious safety issues. Massive efforts have been made to stabilize the surface of the lithium metal anode. Here, we propose an amide-based...
