The durability of anode-free Li metal batteries is largely limited by the undesired Li plating/stripping irreversibility on the current collector due to the infinite volume change, uncontrollable Li dendrite growth, and continuous parasitic reactions between Li metal and the electrolyte. To address these challenges, the formation of a stable and robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with high ionic conductivity and strong mechanical strength is critical. Here, we developed an advanced electrolyte by introducing LiNO₃ into the localized high concentration electrolyte (LHCE) with lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) salt, 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) solvent, and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropylether (TFTE) diluent to in situ construct a LiF and Li_xN_yO_z co-enriched passivation layer on the Cu current collector. The synergetic effect of high mechanical strength of LiF and high ionic conductivity of Li_xN_yO_z endows the Li metal anode with a high Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.35%. In conclusion, in anode-free Li metal pouch cell using LiFePO₄ (LFP) as a cathode holds an exceptionally improved capacity retention under the charging/discharging rate of 1/3 C, demonstrating great promise for developing dendrite-free and safe Li metal batteries.
