Researchers develop real-time picture of formation of solid–electrolyte interphase of a Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

During the first charging process of a new Li-ion battery cell, trace amounts of electrolyte components decompose sacrificially to form what is called a solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the anode surface. Then the team analyzed the SEI components using a mass spectrometer. —Zihua Zhu.
