Dendritic growth of lithium (Li) on lithium metal anodes has hobbled the practical application of Li-metal batteries, despite their theoretical benefits such as high capacity and low redox potential. Meanwhile, the rupture of C—C bonds observed in the GO during AIMD simulations creates more pathways for faster lithium ion transport.
