Metallic lithium/sodium (Li/Na) is considered an attractive anode for future high‐energy‐density batteries. The root causes of preventing their applications come from uneven Li/Na nucleation and subsequent dendrite formation. Here, a cost‐efficient and scalable solid‐to‐solid transfer method for den...
