Improving the durability of lithium metal batteries using carbon fiber paper as the anode

Due to the worldwide growth of electric vehicles, there has been a rise in demand for next-generation secondary batteries with higher capacity and faster charging than the lithium-ion batteries currently in use. Lithium metal batteries have been recognized as promising rechargeable batteries because a lithium metal anode exhibits a theoretical capacity 10 times higher than a commercial graphite anode. During charging-discharging processes, however, lithium dendrites grow on the anode, leading to poor battery performance and short-circuits.
