Electrolytes that can ensure the movement of ions and regulate interfacial chemistries for
fast mass and charge transfer are essential in many types of electrochemical energy storage …

There is a growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for electric transportation and to
support the application of renewable energies by auxiliary energy storage systems. This …

Preventing the decomposition reactions of electrolyte solutions is essential for extending the
lifetime of lithium-ion batteries. However, the exact mechanism (s) for electrolyte …

As the demand for lithium-ion batteries grows exponentially to feed the nascent electric-
vehicle and grid-storage markets, the need for higher energy density and longer cycle life …

Gases generated from lithium batteries are detrimental to their electrochemical
performances, especially under the unguarded runaway conditions, which tend to contribute …

Lithium-ion Batteries (LIB) are an essential facilitator of the decarbonisation of the transport
and energy system, and their high energy densities represent a major technological …

We demonstrate herein that not only internal short circuiting, but also chemical crossover, is
the mechanism behind thermal runaway that can occur in lithium-ion batteries due to abuse …

Deposition of Lithium metal on anodes contributes significantly to ageing of Li-ion cells.
Lithium deposition is connected not only to a drastic limitation of life-time, but also to fast …

The chemical and electrochemical reactions at the positive electrode–electrolyte interface in
Li-ion batteries are hugely influential on cycle life and safety. Ni-rich layered transition metal …

Gas evolution from high‐nickel layered oxide cathodes (> 90% Ni) remains a major issue for
their practical application. Gaseous species, such as CO2, O2, and CO, that are evolved at …
