  text: "With the lithium-ion technology approaching its intrinsic limit with graphite-based
    anodes, lithium metal is recently receiving renewed interest from the battery
    community as potential high capacity anode for next-generation rechargeable batteries.
    In this focus paper, we review the main advances in this field since the first
    attempts in the\r\nmid-1970s. Strategies for enabling reversible cycling and avoiding
    dendrite growth are thoroughly discussed, including specific applications in all-solid-state
    (polymeric and inorganic), Lithium-sulphur and Li-O2 (air) batteries. A particular
    attention is paid to review recent developments in regard of prototype manufacturing
    and current state-ofthe-art of these battery technologies with respect to the
    2030 targets of the EU Integrated Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan)
    Action 7."
