▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Anode electrode comprises an anode current collector having two primary surfaces, multiple particles or coating of a lithium- or sodium-attracting metal arranged on one of the two primary surfaces, and a layer of graphene that covers and protects the multiple particles or coating of the lithium- or sodium-attracting metal, where the lithium-or sodium-attracting metal has a diameter or thickness of 1 nm-10 mum, and is selected from gold, silver, magnesium, zinc, titanium, potassium, aluminum, iron, manganese, cobalt, nickel, tin, vanadium, chromium and/or its alloy. USE - Anode electrode for alkali metal battery including lithium metal battery, lithium-sulfur battery, lithium-selenium battery, lithium-air battery, sodium metal battery, sodium-sulfur battery, sodium-selenium battery, or sodium-air battery (all claimed) for electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and portable electronic devices such as lap-top computers and mobile phones. ADVANTAGE - The anode electrode has higher energy and provides inexpensive graphene-protected metal-coated lithium and sodium metal secondary battery that exhibits long and stable charge-discharge cycle life without suffering from lithium or sodium dendrite problem, and simple manufacturing facility. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for: 1. an alkali metal battery, which comprises a cathode, the anode, an optional lithium source or an optional sodium source in ionic contact with the anode, and an electrolyte in ionic contact with both cathode and anode; 2. a lithium-ion battery, which comprises the anode electrode, a cathode, an electrolyte in ionic contact with the anode and cathode, where the cathode comprises a lithium-containing cathode active material that releases lithium ions into the electrolyte when the battery is charged and the released lithium ions move to the anode and react with the metal or form an alloy with the metal in the anode; 3. a sodium-ion battery, which comprises the anode, a cathode, an electrolyte in ionic contact with the anode and cathode, where the cathode comprises a sodium-containing cathode active material that releases sodium ions into the electrolyte when the battery is charged and the released sodium ions move to the anode and react with the metal or form an alloy with the metal in the anode; and 4. a process for producing the anode electrode, which involves: a. depositing a metal layer of the lithium- or sodium-attracting metal in the form of a metal coating or discrete multiple particles, onto a primary surface of current collector; and b. depositing a layer of multiple graphene sheets onto a surface of the metal layer to form a multiple-layer anode electrode.
