The development of high-energy-dense, sustainable all-solid-state batteries faces a major challenge in achieving compatibility between the anode and electrolyte. A promising solution lies in the use of highly ion-conductive solid electrolytes, such as those from the argyrodite family. Previous studies have shown that the ionic conductivity of the argyrodite Li6PS5Cl can be significantly enhanced by partially substituting S with Se. However, there remains a lack of fundamental knowledge regarding the effect of doping on the interfacial stability. In this study, we employ long-scale ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, which allowed us to gain unprecedented insights into the process of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation. The study focuses on the stage of nucleation of crystalline products, enabling us to investigate in silico the SEI formation process of Se-substituted Li6PS5Cl. Our results demonstrate that kinetic factors play a crucial role in this process. Importantly, we discovered that selective anionic substitution can accelerate the formation of a stable interface, thus potentially resolving anode–electrolyte compatibility issues.

“…[61] However, surface modification of cellulose (e.g., methyl-, carboxymethyl-, hydroxypropyl methyl groups) may give rise to a water-soluble form, which can be used easily for hydrogel fabrication. [65][66][67] Cellulose can be transformed into nanocellulose (cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, bacterial nanocellulose) via bottom-up methods (e.g., bacterial synthesis) or top-down methods (e.g., acid hydrolysis, peroxidation, or enzymatic hydrolysis), which are highly crystalline and conductive [68][69][70][71] (Figure 1a). The molecular structure of cellulose exhibits a flat rope-like structure with two-fold helical symmetry, where the hydroxyl (-OH) groups align mainly on the flat surface of the rope.…”
