Layer-by-Layer Assembly of Graphene Oxide and Silver Nanowire Thin Films with Interdigitated Nanostructure in Dendrite Suppressions of Li-Metal Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Reducing the thickness of the Li-metal anode is key to enhancing the energy density of batteries. However, poor initial lithium deposition on Cu current collectors can exacerbate the growth of lithium dendrites and limit performance. This study explores innovative strategies by fabricating graphene oxide (GO) and silver nanowire (AgNW) thin films onto Cu-foil using the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly method. The homogeneous LbL thin films are prepared with the assistance of bifunctional cross-linkers, such as cysteamine, to strengthen the intermolecular interactions between the nano-building blocks. The GO/AgNW LbL thin films possess a highly interdigitated nanostructure that combines the synergistic advantages of the individual building components. The GO layers facilitate the distribution
