Abstract
The non-uniform plating-stripping behaviours of Li metal anodes hinder the application of Li metal batteries. Here, a stable 3D matrix is designed by coating a carbon skeleton with MXene, and the significant influence of the crystallographic texture of Li metal on electrochemical behaviour is investigated. The results demonstrate that the 3D MXene/carbon skeleton can effectively induce the evolution of advantageous Li(110) facets with a dendrite-free anode interface. Consequently, the modified Li metal anodes deliver stable plating-stripping behaviours.
