During the constant current charging and discharging process,lithium metal anode may face risks of SEI film rupture and lithium dendrite growth,which can greatly reduce the service life and rate performance of the battery,and bring about huge hidden dangers.Relevant research progress is reviewed from three aspects,namely SEI film design,electrolyte modification and structure design of lithium metal anode,which provides references and ideas for the research of high-capacity lithium metal battery in the future.
