In article number 1502151, Ji‐Guang Zhang, Wu Xu, and co‐workers present the formation of a transient high‐concentration electrolyte layer on the Li anode surface during a fast stripping process. The highly concentrated Li + ions immediately coordinate with available solvent molecules and facilitate the formation of a stabilized solid electrolyte interphase on the Li surface, thus effectively mitigating Li corrosion and enabling the sustainable operation of Li metal batteries.
