A Review of Inhibit the Growth of Lithium Dendrite Strategies

Nowadays, the development of electronic technology has driven the development of battery industry. Under the rigid demand for energy storage materials, lithium metal has received a lot of attention due to its excellent energy storage performance, however, the growth of lithium dendrite makes it difficult to recycle. This review introduces the principle of lithium dendrite growth and its negative impact leading to the degradation of battery performance, and then focuses on the methods to inhibit lithium dendrite growth e.g., fabrication of alloyed structure, regulation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI), application of solid electrolyte and recent research progress e.g., nanodiamond additive method, single-atom zinc anion skeleton method, battery self-heating method.
