Application of Lithium Metal Anodes

Li metal is an ideal anode to replace carbon based anode used in the state of the art Li-ion batteries. It is also widely used in Li-S and Li-air batteries. Although the use of Li metal anodes in these batteries has been limited by Li dendrite growth and the low CE of Li cycling, the stability of Li metal anodes is much different when used in different types of Li metal batteries and will be discussed separately in this chapter.
