Abstract
AbstractDendrite growth on metal anodes, which results from uneven crystallization at electrochemical interfaces, has prevented the widespread adoption of metal anode-based batteries. Promising adaptable strategies to control dendrite growth have emerged, which can be categorized into three broad approaches: (a) using textured/patterned or 3D electrodes, (b) enhancing mass transfer, and (c) modifying the electrode–electrolyte interface. While these strategies affect and control different sub-processes that culminate in dendrite growth, they directly or indirectly modify the electric field at the electrode–electrolyte interface. Here, we elucidate the fundamental role of the electric field and offer a few pros and cons of each strategy and their prospects. Graphical abstract
