Fast charging is considered to be a key requirement for widespread economic success of
electric vehicles. Current lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) offer high energy density enabling …

Graphite is a perfect anode and has dominated the anode materials since the birth of lithium
ion batteries, benefiting from its incomparable balance of relatively low cost, abundance …

The difficulties to identify the rate‐limiting step cause the lithium (Li) plating hard to be
completely avoided on graphite anodes during fast charging. Therefore, Li plating regulation …

Improving safety while increasing the charging rates and extending the lifetime is the grand
challenge for lithium-ion batteries. The key challenge is to control lithium plating, a parasitic …

Reversibly intercalating ions into host materials for electrochemical energy storage is the
essence of the working principle of rocking-chair type batteries. The most relevant example …

Metal anode instability, including dendrite growth, metal corrosion, and hetero-ions
interference, occurring at the electrolyte/electrode interface of aqueous batteries, are among …

The importance of the solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) for reversible operation of Li-ion
batteries has been well established, but the understanding of its chemistry remains …

Phosphorene, an emerging two-dimensional material, has received considerable attention
due to its layer-controlled direct bandgap, high carrier mobility, negative Poisson's ratio and …

The recent chemical exfoliation of layered MAX phase compounds to novel two-dimensional
transition metal carbides and nitrides, the so-called MXenes, has brought a new opportunity …

An in-depth historical and current review is presented on the science of lithium-ion battery
(LIB) solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation on the graphite anode, including structure …
