The findings could pave the way for bringing rechargeable lithium metal batteries from the lab to the market. They promise twice the energy density of today’s lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes, so they could last longer and weigh less. —first author Chengcheng Fang, a materials science and engineering Ph.D.
