Thus, commercial carbon cloth is a promising substrate in constructing composite lithium metal anode for lithium metal batteries and other similar alkaline metal batteries , , , , , . However, a comprehensive review over the progress of CC based lithium metal batteries is still absent.
Consequently, the rGO and commercial carbon cloth are more suitable candidates for practical lithium metal batteries, which has realized scale production and is easy to realize the lithiophilicity. Regarding the cost, carbon cloth (CC for short), which has been commercialized for a long time, shows a more promising practical prospect.
This material can simultaneously serve as a host for Li metal and as a current collector in the battery. Moreover, having only lightweight carbon on the anode side makes it an ideal approach for achieving high energy density batteries (Figure 1C).
Moreover, having only lightweight carbon on the anode side makes it an ideal approach for achieving high energy density batteries (Figure 1C). But materials utilizing only carbon as a host still face challenges, as the intrinsic low lithophilicity of carbon results in a high nucleation overpotential and low wettability towards Li. 57
