Investigating continuous co-intercalation of solvated lithium ions and graphite exfoliation in propylene carbonate-based electrolyte solutions

Solid-electrolyte interphase nucleation and growth on carbonaceous negative electrodes for Li-ion batteries visualized with in situ atomic force microscopy

“…Likewise, blistering is a typical phenomenon in ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes [39][40][41] . It is caused by cointercalation of electrolyte molecules and trace water into graphite structure and consequent gas evolution on the cathodic scan 42 .…”

Advanced Electrochemical Analysis for Energy Storage Interfaces

“…SEI formation consists of an irreversible deposition process of solvent and electrolyte decomposition products that occur at negatively biased electrode surfaces . The voltage and stability in which the SEI forms highly depend on the choice of solvent, scan rate, and electrolyte concentration . SEI formation in alloy-based anodes has been demonstrated to have a crystal orientation-controlled behavior .…”

Probing the reversibility and kinetics of Li+ during SEI formation and (de)intercalation on edge plane graphite using ion-sensitive scanning electrochemical microscopy

“…1,2 The SEI components and properties are derived from electrolyte decomposition reactions at the surface of the anode, resulting in a morphologically and chemically heterogeneous structure. 2,[4][5][6][7] Materials characterization methods have led to improved understanding of the components and precursors involved in the SEI, 1,2,8,9 on the observation of its reactivity and morphological changes during formation, 10,11 and tracking of the intercalation process. [12][13][14] On the other hand, there are few in situ methods capable of tracking interfacial alkali ions (e.g.…”
