The invention relates to the technical field of 
lithium batteries, and provides a modified planar 
current collector, a preparation method thereof, a 
lithium electrode and a 
lithium battery. The modified planar 
current collector comprises a two-dimensional 
planar substrate and patterned 
heterojunction arrays constructed on the surface of the two-dimensional 
planar substrate, and the patterned 
heterojunction arrays are uniform in shape and have lithium affinity. According to the invention, a uniformly patterned 
heterojunction lithium-philic region enables the 
electric field distribution to be more uniform, enables the lithium 
ion flux to be more uniform, and also improves the wettability of an 
electrolyte (which can be proved by a 
contact angle test result). According to the invention, the 
surface energy of the 
planar substrate material is adjusted, the wettability with 
electrolyte is enhanced, uniform and compact lithium deposition can be realized, and the overall 
energy density is improved. Besides, the modified planar 
current collector is simple to operate, can be repeated easily and is in uniform preparation; the construction of a ultrathin lithium foil is easy to realize, and the use of excessive lithium of the 
lithium battery is avoided.
