Lithium metal is regarded as ideal anode material due to its high theoretical specific capacity and low electrode potential. However, the uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites seriously hinders the practical application of lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). Among various strategies, carbon nanofiber materials have shown great potential in stabilizing the lithium-metal anode (LMA) due to their unique functional and structural characteristics. Here, the latest research progress on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) for LMA is systematically reviewed. Firstly, several common preparation techniques for CNFs are summarized. Then, the development prospects, strategies and the latest research progress on CNFs for dendrite-free LMA are emphatically introduced from the perspectives of neat CNFs and CNF-based composites. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of CNFs for stabilizing LMA are summarized and discussed. These discussions and proposed strategies provide new ideas for the development of high-performance LMBs.
锂金属因其高理论比容量和低电极电位而被视为理想的负极材料。然而,锂枝晶的不可控生长严重阻碍了锂金属电池(LMBs)的实际应用。在各种策略中,碳纳米纤维材料因其独特的功能和结构特性,在稳定锂金属负极(LMA)方面显示出巨大潜力。在此,系统综述了用于LMA的碳纳米纤维(CNFs)的最新研究进展。首先,总结了几种常见的CNFs制备技术。然后,从纯CNFs和基于CNF的复合材料的角度,着重介绍了用于无枝晶LMA的CNFs的发展前景、策略和最新研究进展。最后,总结并讨论了CNFs在稳定LMA方面目前面临的挑战和前景。这些讨论和提出的策略为高性能LMBs的发展提供了新思路。
