| Abstract | Electrochemical energy storage devices are critical for transitioning the global energy economy away from fossil fuels used in transportation and energy generation. Metallic lithium anodes offer an avenue to reduce cost and increase adoptions by increasing energy density compared to state-of-the-art graphite and silicon containing anodes, yet challenges around stable cycling and safety remain. The roots of these challenges lie at the interface between the electrode and the liquid electrolyte, wh |
