The solvation of Li ions in nonaqueous electrolytes is vital for Li batteries. In their Communication on page 5301 ff. Q. Zhang et al. demonstrate that highly stable lithium anodes in pouch cells, and dendrite‐free Li deposition can be achieved by regulating the solvation of Li ions. In the graphic, parachutes represent fluoroethylene carbonate and lithium nitrate, which assist in the uniform and stable deposition of Li ions onto the working electrodes.
