Abstract
Unpredictable lithium dendrite growth on the metal anode and repeated destruction and creation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer result in hidden risks and low Coulombic efficiencies (CEs). Researchers have found that designing a high-quality SEI layer can prevent the growth of dendrite. However, designing and forming a high-quality SEI layer is still a problem. Making trade-off between capacity reduction caused by the SEI layer and better cycle stability significantly limits the general performance of lithium metal batteries. In this research, characteristics of SEI layers and some significant advancements made in SEI formation are outlined. Some designs for the SEI layers on the lithium metal anodes include designing hybrid polymer SEI layers, producing synthetic SEI layers. By controlling the behaviours of Li ions throughout the stripping and depositing processes, the capacity and stability of Li metal anodes may be improved. Finally, some case studies of the applying of SEI in lithium metal battery systems are introduced.
