A Growing Appreciation for the Role of LiF in the Solid Electrolyte Interphase

Jian Tan et al.

Summary: Rechargeable lithium batteries have transformed energy storage technology, but their further commercialization is hindered by short lifetime and safety issues, mainly due to the unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth. Research on SEI worldwide has focused on its debated structure and composition, particularly the role of the main component LiF. This review covers the development history of the SEI model, fundamental understanding of SEI, categorization of anode materials generating LiF in SEI, characterization techniques of SEI layers, transport mechanism of Li+ ions within SEI, physical properties of LiF, and analysis of LiF sources, offering insights for future research directions to promote large-scale applications of lithium metal batteries.

Regulating lithium deposition via electropolymerization of acrylonitrile in rechargeable lithium metal batteries

Jian Zhang et al.

Summary: The addition of acrylonitrile (AN) in carbonate-based electrolytes has been reported as an effective method to achieve uniform and dense lithium (Li) deposition and improve the coulombic efficiency of Li metal anodes. The electrochemical, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies show that AN is cathodically electropolymerized on the Li surface, forming a polyacrylonitrile artificial solid electrolyte interface that allows for uniform nucleation and growth of Li deposition with reduced side reactions. The effectiveness of AN additive is demonstrated in Li pouch cells with excellent cycle stability under realistic charge-discharge conditions.
