Abstract

Through a facile thermal oxidation approach, the surface of Cu mesh was modified from lithiophobic into lithiophilic. Then, following with a melting infusion process, metallic Li was homogeneously pre-loaded into the Cu mesh to form a stable Li–Cu composite anode which could simultaneously restrain the growth of Li dendrites and accommodate the volume fluctuation of metallic Li during cycling.
