Lithium (Li)‐metal batteries promise energy density beyond 400 Wh kg−1, while their practical operation at an extreme temperature below −30 °C suffers severe capacity deterioration. Such battery failure highly relates to the remarkably increased kinetic barrier of interfacial processes, including in...
