Self-assembled, highly-lithiophilic and well-aligned biomass engineered MXene paper enables dendrite-free lithium metal anode in carbonate-based electrolyte

A well-aligned and highly lithiophilic MXene-based paper obtained by electrostatic self-assembly of MXene nanosheets and natural polysaccharide, promotes Li nucleation and induces lateral Li growth and consequently enables stable Li metal anode.
