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. The inner SEI is continuous, dense and impermeable to electrolytes, and it is most probably composed of Li 2 O.
