Abstract The pursuit for high‐energy‐density batteries has inspired the resurgence of metallic lithium (Li) as a promising anode, yet its practical viability is restricted by the uncontrollable Li dendrite growth and huge volume changes during repeated cycling. Herein, a new 3D framework configured with Mo ₂ N‐mofidied carbon nanofiber (CNF) architecture is established as a Li host via a facile fabrication method. The lithiophilic Mo ₂ N acts as a homogeneously pre‐planted seed with ultralow Li nucleation overpotential, thus spatially guiding a uniform Li nucleation and deposition in the matrix. The conductive CNF skeleton effectively homogenizes the current distribution and Li‐ion flux, further suppressing Li‐dendrite formation. As a result, the 3D hybrid Mo ₂ N@CNF structure facilitates a dendrite‐free morphology with greatly alleviated volume expansion, delivering a significantly improved Coulombic efficiency of ≈99.2% over 150 cycles at 4 mA cm ⁻² . Symmetric cells with Mo ₂ N@CNF substrates stably operate over 1500 h at 6 mA cm ⁻² for 6 mA h cm ⁻² . Furthermore, full cells paired with LiNi _0.8 Co _0.1 Mn _0.1 O ₂ (NMC811) cathodes in conventional carbonate electrolytes achieve a remarkable capacity retention of 90% over 150 cycles. This work sheds new light on the facile design of 3D lithiophilic hosts for dendrite‐free lithium‐metal anodes.
