Solid Electrolyte Interphases: A Review of Solid Electrolyte Interphases on Lithium Metal Anode (Adv. Sci. 3/2016)

The solid electrolyte interphases (SEI) formed on Li metal anodes can inhibit the growth of dendrites, improve the Coulombic efficiency, and achieve a superior cycling performance of Li metal batteries. In article number 1500213, Q. Zhang and co-workers review the formation mechanism, structure model, characterization, and modulation of robust SEI on Li metal.
