Plant Leaf‐Inspired Separators
In article number 2301237, Shouyong Zhou, Junping Zhang, and co‐workers report the plant leaf‐inspired membrane separators based on natural attapulgite nanorods. The separators repel TFSI− ions but allow fast Li+ ions transport, showing ion‐selective transport behavior. So, the separators can guide uniform and directed Li deposition even at limited Li and high current...
Lithium (Li) metal batteries are among the most promising devices for high energy storage applications but suffer from severe and irregular Li dendrite growth. Here, it is demonstrated that the issue can be well tackled by precisely designing the leaf‐like membrane with hierarchical structure and exquisite fluidic channels. As a proof of concept, plant leaf‐inspired membrane (PLIM) separators are...
