text: With the lithium-ion technology approaching its intrinsic limit with graphite-based
anodes, Li metal is recently receiving renewed interest from the battery community
as potential high capacity anode for next-generation rechargeable batteries. In
this focus paper, we review the main advances in this field since the first attempts
in the mid-1970s. Strategies for enabling reversible cycling and avoiding dendrite
growth are thoroughly discussed, including specific applications in all-solid-state
(inorganic and polymeric), Lithium–Sulfur (Li–S) and Lithium-O2 (air) batteries.
A particular attention is paid to recent developments of these battery technologies
and their current state with respect to the 2030 targets of the EU Integrated
Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Action 7.
