To　achieve　high　energy　density　in　lithium　batteries,　the　construction　of　lithium-ion/metal　hybrid　anodes　is　a　promising　strategy.　In　particular,　because　of　the　anisotropy　of　graphite,　hybrid　anode　formed　by　gra-　phite/Li　metal　has　low　transport　kinetics　and　is　easy　to　causes　the　growth　of　lithium　dendrites　and　accu-　mulation　of　dead　Li,　which　seriously　affects　the　cycle　life　of　batteries　and　even　causes　safety　problems.　Here,　by　comparing　graphite　with　two　types　of　hard　carbon,　it　was　found　that　hybrid　anode　formed　by　hard　carbon　and　lithium　metal,　possessing　more　disordered　mesoporous　structure　and　lithophilic　groups,　presents　better　performance.　Results　indicate　that　the　mesoporous　structure　provides　abundant　active　site　and　storage　space　for　dead　lithium.　With　the　synergistic　effect　of　this　structure　and　lithophilic　func-　tional　groups　(-COOH),　the　reversibility　of　hard　carbon/lithium　metal　hybrid　anode　is　maintained,　pro-　moting　uniform　deposition　of　lithium　metal　and　alleviating　formation　of　lithium　dendrites.　The　hybrid　anode　maintains　a　99.5%　Coulombic　efficiency　(CE)　after　260　cycles　at　a　specific　capacity　of　500　mAh/　g.　This　work　provides　new　insights　into　the　hybrid　anodes　formed　by　carbon-based　materials　and　lithium　metal　with　high　specific　energy　and　fast　charging　ability.(c)　2023　Science　Press　and　Dalian　Institute　of　Chemical　Physics,　Chinese　Academy　of　Sciences.　Published　by　ELSEVIER　B.V.　and　Science　Press.　All　rights　reserved.
