Abstract: With the gradual development of rechargeable batteries, lithium metal batteries have attracted increasing attention due to their excellent energy density, but the problems regarding poor stability and safety of lithium metal anode need to be solved urgently. The electrolyte, as the carrier for lithium-ion transportation between anodes and cathodes, determines the liquid phase transfer process and migration rate of lithium ions. Meanwhile, it also reacts with the lithium metal anode to form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI), and different compositions of electrolytes will greatly affect the composition and structure of the SEI. Electrolyte modification is an important way to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium metal anode and can effectively regulate the deposition process of lithium. Starting from the influence of electrolytes on the deposition of lithium-ion, this paper analyzes the regulation mechanism of transfer of lithium-ion in solution, SEI, charge transfer, and other basic processes on the deposition of lithium, and summarizes the effects of solvents, the concentration of lithium salts, and additives on the deposition process of lit-hium. This paper also introduces the methods of promoting homogenous deposition of lithium by the solvent mixture, lithium salt mixture, loca-lized high concentration electrolyte, bifunctional additives. The mechanism of various modification methods on achieving uniform lithium deposition is analyzed, and the development trend of electrolyte modification and stable metal lithium anode is prospected.
