Title: Lithium metal Protection in rechargeable solid state batteries
Abstract: 
Lithium metal solid state batteries considered to be a promising, next-generation, energy storage system due to the requirement for a higher energy density and safety batteries. However, the drastic volume change and growth of lithium metal anode dendrites can still influence the electrochemical performance of the cells, which can result in the deteriorate of the interface contact between solid electrolyte and Li metal anode. To overcome these limitations, a good interface contact between 3D scaffold Li anode and solid-state electrolyte should be created in order to achieve long cycles. Therefore, we employed several interface modified strategies for improving the electrochemical performance of solid state batteries, such as constructed a robust interface layers with redox shuttle reactions on lithium metal anode, in-situ formation a mixed ionic-electron conductor as interphase-layer on lithium metal anode, as well as coating lithiophilic layers on lithium metal anode and so on. This report focuses on the methods of address the major factors affecting the cyclic stability performance of solid state batteries.
