Lithium electrodes have gained increasing attention in recent years for their promising applications in high-energy-density secondary batteries. However, structural instability during cycling remains a considerable obstacle to development. In this study, a dimensionally stable Li-Mg/Cu composite electrode was fabricated. Cu foam as a plate grid can sustain the structure, and Li-Mg alloy as the active and lithophilic component can guide the uniform Li plating within the composite. Thus, Li-Mg/Cu electrode shows long-term stability in terms of dimensional change and surface morphology. This work provides a facile and practical way to fabricate composite Li electrodes with high dimensional stability for secondary batteries.
