Lithium Metal Anodes: Uniform Lithium Nucleation Guided by Atomically Dispersed Lithiophilic CoN x Sites for Safe Lithium Metal Batteries (Small Methods 9/2019)

Lithium-metal anodes are strongly considered as the high capacity electrodes for next-generation high-energy-density batteries. In article number 1800354, Qiang Zhang and co-workers describe atomically dispersed lithiophilic CoNx sites (wonderful flute created by the artist) to guide Li (the animals) nucleation. This contributes a remarkable electrochemical performance of uniform Li plating on the anode surface in a working cell.
