Anode-free lithium batteries are regarded as an ultimate form of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Unfortunately, irreversible lithium loss during cycling plays a major role in degrading the overall cell performance in the anode-free configuration. To alleviate the deterioration, building a robust solid-electrolyte interface on an anode current collector is an indispensable requirement. Here, we present a facile in-situ electrochemical method of a potential hold during the first charge to guide more salt-derived (less solvent-derived) decomposition on the anode interface. Here we show the distinctive decomposition potential of lithium salts and ether/carbonate solvents, where the Li-solvation structures with salt contact-ion-pairs preferentially decompose to form LiF-rich and less organic components, leading to enhanced lithium Coulombic efficiency in Li||Cu cells as well as mitigating the capacity fade of Cu||LiFePO₄ and Cu||LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ cells.
