Lithium (Li) metal is considered as one of the best anode materials due to its high theoretical capacity and low reduction potential. However, its practical application is restricted by uneven Li metal dendrite growth. Herein, vertically aligned Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheet arrays synthesized by a facile...
