In the field of lithium-based batteries, there is often a substantial divide between academic
research and industrial market needs. This is in part driven by a lack of peer-reviewed …

Electrolytes and the associated interphases constitute the critical components to support the
emerging battery chemistries that promise tantalizing energy but involve drastic phase and …

The solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) in lithium (Li) metal batteries is often heterogeneous,
containing a diverse range of species and has poor mechanical stability. The SEI undergoes …
