Formation and modification of cathode electrolyte interphase: A mini review

Cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) has obtained increasing attention due to the importance in sustaining full cell life. However, it has rarely been overviewed. Therefore, it is timely and necessary to write this mini-review on CEI. This mini-review will involve the formation mechanism and modification methods of CEI. The perspective on CEI is also given out. We expect that this mini-review will provide rational guidelines for the CEI design of highly-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Automated summary

The Cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) is important for sustaining full cell life. This mini-review focuses on the formation mechanism, modification methods, and future perspective of CEI, aiming to provide rational guidelines for high-performance LIBs.
