Bimetallic MOF-Derivatives Enabled Multi-Sited Current Collector for High-Performance Anode-Free Lithium Metal Battery

Key Points

• This research aims to address the issues of unstable interfaces and nonuniform lithium deposition in anode-free lithium metal batteries.
• Development of a Ni/CoO-modified carbon cloth from bimetallic NiCo-MOFs.
• Characterization of the current collector's performance under battery conditions.
• Comparison of lithium deposition uniformity in anode-free systems.
• The bimetallic MOF-derived current collector significantly improved the stability of interfaces in AFLMBs.
• Enhanced lithium deposition uniformity was observed, resulting in better battery performance.
• The energy density of the battery was maximized compared to traditional designs.
