A 3D Lithiophilic Mo2N–Modified Carbon Nanofiber Architecture for Dendrite–Free Lithium–Metal Anodes in a Full Cell
Abstract
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.
