N2 - The drastic volume expansion and dendrite growth of lithium metal anodes give rise to poor electrochemical reversibility. Herein, ZnO, N dually doped nanocages (c-ZNCC) were synthesized as the host for lithium metal anodes using the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The synthesis is based on a two-step core@shell evolution mechanism, which could guide lithium deposition rapidly and offer a fast lithium-ion diffusion during the cycling process. Benefiting from the unique design, the as-obtained c-ZNCC can render a record short lithium infusion as low as 1.5 s, a stable lithium stripping/plating capability as long as 3000 h, and a voltage hysteresis of 95 mV when cycling at 10 mA cm–2 to 10 mA h cm–2. A low Tafel slope of 3.45 mA cm–2 demonstrates the efficient charge transfer of c-ZNCC-Li, and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique measurement shows high diffusion coefficient of c-ZNCC-Li during the charging process. In addition, the LNMO||c-ZNCC-Li cell exhibits a capacity retention as high as 93.7% at 1 C after 200 cycles. This work creates a new design for deriving nanocages with dual lithiophilic spots using a metal–organic framework and carbon cloth for favorable Li metal anodes.
