Comparison of the cycling stability of the Li-coated PI matrix and the bare Li electrode at a current density of (a) 1 mA cm−2, (b) 3 mA cm−2 and (c) 5 mA cm−2. (d) Rate performance of the Li-coated PI matrix and the bare Li electrode. (e) Nyquist plot of the impedance spectra of the symmetrical Li-coated PI matrix and the bare Li cell after 10 cycles at a current density of 1 mA cm−2. Voltage profiles of (f) Li-coated PI matrix and (g) bare Li electrode at different current densities after 10 cycles. The amount of Li cycled was 1 mAh cm−2 in all cases.
