Anode

7. Anode: Real-time mapping of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) Characterization of SEI with in-situ liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)

During initial charging, an electric double layer forms at the electrode/electrolyte interface This double layer structure predicts the eventual SEI chemistry Inner SEI layer is thin, dense, and inorganic while the outer SEI layer is porous and organic-rich Real-time nanoscale observations offer a molecular understanding of SEI and pave the way for the engineering of better interphases in the future.
