Lithium metal has a very outstanding theoretical capacity (3860 mAh/g) and is one of the most superior anode materials for high energy density batteries. However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth and the formation of "dead lithium" are the important hidden dangers of short cycle life and low safety. However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth and the formation of dead lithium leads to short cycle life and hidden danger, which hinder its practical application. Controlling the nucleation and growth process of lithium is an effective strategy to inhibit lithium dendrite. Herein, a simple in situ self-catalytic method is used to construct nitrogen doped carbon nanotube arrays on stainless steel mesh (N-CNT@SS) as a lithium composite anode. The N-doped CNTs provide a great number of N-functional groups, which enhance the lithiophilic of anode and provide a large number of uniform nucleation sites, hence it has excellent structural stability for cycles. The arrays provide neat lithium-ion transport channels to uniform lithium-ion flux and inhibits dendrite generation, revealed by the COMSOL multi-physics concentration field simulation. The N-CNT@SS composite anode sustain stable at 98.9% over 300 cycles at 1 mA/cm². N-CNT@SS as the anode is coupled LiFePO₄ (LFP) as the cathode construct a full battery, demonstrating excellent cycling stability with a capacity of 152.33 mAh/g and capacity retaining ratio of 95.4% after 100 cycles at 0.5 C.
