Article Abstract
Development of high energy density lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) is markedly hindered by the interfacial instability on lithium-metal anode side. Solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is a fundamental factor to regulate dendrite growth and enhance the stability of lithium-metal anodes. Here, trithiocyanuric acid, a triazine derivative with sulfhydryl groups, is used as an efficient promoter to favor the construction of a robust artificial SEI layer on the lithium metal surface, which greatly benefits the stability and efficiency of LMBs. With the assistance of trithiocyanuric acid facilely introduced on the Li surface via a one-step solution route, a highly uniform artificial SEI layer rich in LiS and LiN is formed, which efficiently facilitates uniform lithium deposition and suppresses lithium dendrite growth. Remarkably, the Li|Li cell displays stable lithium plating/stripping cycling over 800 h at 0.5 mA cm, 1 mAh cm, and the Li|LFP cells exhibit prolonged lifespan over 700 cycles at 3 C and superior rate performance from 2 to 20 C. This work provides a facile design strategy for constructing a superb artificial SEI layer for high-performance LMBs.

Electrolytes are important components in lithium-ion batteries. However, battery degradation due to irreversible electrochemical reactions in the electrolyte can consume electrolyte molecules and severely reduce its effective operation lifetime. It is hence important to study the electrochemical reaction pathways in the battery electrolyte to further improve lithium-ion battery reliability.

Electrolyte additives effectively stabilize aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), yet their depletion during long-term cycling leads to eventual battery failure. Here, we address this common issue through sustained release of underpotential deposition initiators from an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) to achieve the long-term operation. This SEI, comprising nickel hydroxide and nickel-2-methylimidazole complexes embedded in a hydrophobic dodecylphosphonic acid (DPA) monolayer via ion-layer epitaxy, releases Ni ions on-demand when local pH rises due to corrosion.

Aqueous zinc-iodine (Zn-I) batteries are promising for large-scale energy storage. However, their practical use is hindered by challenges such as Zn dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), corrosion, and polyiodide shuttle effect. In this study, valerolactam (VL) is employed as an organic pH buffer to address these issues.

The addition of a small amount of silicon to the anode material is a widely used approach to increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its (de-)lithiation leads to volume changes, resulting in structural degradation and the formation of an insufficient solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), limiting the cycle life and electrochemical performance. Therefore, the formation of an effective SEI is imperative to overcome these challenges.

Silicon (Si), a promising high-capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries, suffers from severe volume changes upon cycling, leading to rapid capacity fading. This study mitigates the capacity fading issue by introducing a surface SiN layer on micron Si, which is in-situ converted into a LiSiN-based artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). This artificial SEI not only effectively restricts SEI growth to the outmost surface, but also induces a self-optimized structural evolution of the inner Si from micron particles to nanoporous network within 20 cycles.
