[Display omitted] Lithium (Li) metal is considered as the ultimate anode choice for developing next-generation high-energy batteries. However, the poor tolerance against moist air and the unstable solid electrolyte interphases (SEI) induced by the intrinsic high reactivity of lithium bring series of...
