Abstract
The lithium metal battery has been considered as a promising candidate for next generation batteries. However, safety concerns caused by uncontrollable lithium dendrite growth on lithium anode are severely hampering the commercial application. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) become one of the most attractive materials due to the high porosity, structural designability and tunability. With unique open channels and pores as well as functional components in MOFs, the transportation and deposition of lithium ions can be regulated, which leads to enhanced electrochemical properties. Various strategies for lithium metal protection are proposed in recent works on applications of MOFs in lithium metal batteries. In this review, we highlight latest key approaches in this field and discuss the prospects for MOFs in advanced Li anodes.
