Interface modification is the deliberate insertion or formation of a layer between two phases in contact, with the aim of changing what happens there rather than what happens in either bulk. In a lithium metal cell the boundary between the metal and the electrolyte is where deposition morphology and side reactions are decided, and coatings, electrolyte additives and interlayers have all been directed at it [1]. A three-dimensional metallic interlayer gives the lithium a scaffold to deposit into, lowering the local current density and postponing the onset of dendrites [2]. A composite layer of lithium silicate and lithium phosphate combines ionic conduction with mechanical rigidity, and serves as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase [3]. With a ceramic electrolyte the problem is different, since contact between two solids is poor to begin with; a graphite interlayer between lithium and a garnet electrolyte improves the wetting and the interfacial stability [4]. Screening candidate interlayers computationally has become a way to search this space [5].
