Abstract

Doping metallic Zn in Li-rich Li–Cu alloy leads to the formation of a hybrid built-in three-dimensional framework, i.e., lithiophilic Li₂Cu₃Zn and an electrochemically inert Li_xCu nanowire network, enabling a thin Li–Cu–Zn alloy electrode with significantly improved electrochemical performance.
