Realizing stable lithium deposition by in situ grown Cu2S nanowires inside commercial Cu foam for lithium metal anodes

Cu2S NWs are grown inside a commercial Cu foam which help realize the uniform lithium deposition and suppress the dendrite growth by the increased surface area and lithiophilic surface modification at the same time.
