As the demand for high-energy-density batteries continues to grow, lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have emerged as a promising next-generation technology. However, challenges such as lithium dendrite growth, unstable interfaces, and poor cyclability have limited their practical use. Now, researchers from Korea University, KIST, and SungShin Women’s University, in a study published in Nano-Micro Letters , have developed a novel strategy to stabilize lithium metal anodes using a heterostructured metal phosphide modulation layer, offering new hope for safe and long-lasting energy storage.
