“…Reports in the literature usually focused on the individual parts of the LIB cell such as the reactions between the electrolyte and the anode, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth, the decomposition of cathode and anode, or lithium metal deposition on the anode [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ] or on the interaction between the different materials [ 30 ]. Additionally, the operating conditions have a great influence of the degradation behavior [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. However, the decomposition of the electrolyte is challenging to investigate due to its complex composition.…”
