Li metal anodes (LMAs) has attracted extensive research interest because of its extremely high theoretical capacity (3860 mAh/g) at low redox potential (-3.04 V vs.standard hydrogen electrode).However,the extremely high chemical reactivity and the intrinsic “hostless” nature of LMAs bring about serious den-dritic growth and dramatic volume change during the plating/strapping process,thus resulting in poor Coulombic efficiency,short lifespan,and severe safety concerns.Of various strategies,the construction of three-dimensional carbonaceous scaffolds for LMAs can substantially reduce the local current density,inhibit Li dendrite growth,and accommodate volume variation.Electrospinning is a simple yet effec-tive strategy to fabricate carbon nanofibers (CNFs),which have been regarded as promising skeletons for LMAs,owing to their large surface areas,good electrical conductivity,and high porosity.In this Mini Re-view,we briefly introduce the fabrication of CNFs using electrospinning and the modification of CNFs.We highlight the recent advances in electrospun CNF skeletons for LMAs,including pure CNF and CNF-based composite scaffolds.Finally,we discuss the remaining challenges of electrospun CNF scaffolds for LMAs and provide possible solutions to push forward the advancement in this field.
