Abstract

Lithium metal is regarded as ideal anode material due to its high theoretical specific capacity and low electrode potential. However, the uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites seriously hinders the practical application of lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). Among various strategies, carbon nanofiber materials have shown great potential in stabilizing the lithium-metal anode (LMA) due to their unique functional and structural characteristics. Here, the latest research progress on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) for LMA is systematically reviewed. Firstly, several common preparation techniques for CNFs are summarized. Then, the development prospects, strategies and the latest research progress on CNFs for dendrite-free LMA are emphatically introduced from the perspectives of neat CNFs and CNF-based composites. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of CNFs for stabilizing LMA are summarized and discussed. These discussions and proposed strategies provide new ideas for the development of high-performance LMBs.
