Lithium (Li) metal is considered as the "Holy Grail" anode material for next-generation high-energy density battery system due to its high theoretical capacity and lowest reduction potential. However, the practical application of Li metal anodes (LMAs) is still impeded due to its intrinsic issues, including the uncontrolled Li dendrites growth, unstable solid-electrolyte interface (SEI), and the accumulation of “dead Li”. The fluorinated materials can stabilize the Li/electrolyte interface, lead to the uniform Li flux and suppress the growth of Li dendrites, thus becoming one of the research hotspots for LMAs. This review summarized recent progress of the fluorinated inorganic materials on constructing Li metal plated skeletons, developing artificial SEI film, introducing electrolyte additives and employing solid-state electrolytes. The rational design and mechanism of these reported fluorinated inorganic materials for stabilizing LMAs were represented. In addition, we also prospected the future research aspects.
