Abstract
Alleviating the decomposition of the electrolyte is of great significance to improving the cycle stability of cathodes, especially for LiCoO2 (LCO), its volumetric energy density can be effectively promoted by increasing the charge cutoff voltage to 4.6 V, thereby supporting the large-scale application of clean energy. However, the rapid decomposition of the electrolyte under 4.6 V conditions not only loses the transport carrier for lithium ion, but also produces HF and insulators that destroy the interface of LCO and increase impedance. In this work, the decomposition of electrolyte is effectively suppressed by changing the adsorption force between LCO interface and EC. Density functional theory illustrates the LCO coated with lower electronegativity elements has a weaker adsorption force with the electrolyte, the adsorption energy between LCO@Mg and EC (0.49 eV) is weaker than that of LCO@Ti (0.73 eV). Meanwhile, based on the results of time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, conductivity-atomic force microscopy, in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance, as the adsorption force increases, the electrolyte decomposes more seriously. This work provides a new perspective on the interaction between electrolyte and the interface of cathode and further improves the understanding of electrolyte decomposition.

Abstract
High-energy and stable lithium-ion batteries are desired for next-generation electric devices and vehicles. To achieve their development, the formation of stable interfaces on high-capacity anodes and high-voltage cathodes is crucial. However, such interphases in certain commercialized Li-ion batteries are not stable. Due to internal stresses during operation, cracks are formed in the interphase and electrodes; the presence of such cracks allows for the formation of Li dendrites and new interphases, resulting in a decay of the energy capacity. In this Review, we highlight electrolyte design strategies to form LiF-rich interphases in different battery systems. In aqueous electrolytes, the hydrophobic LiF can extend the electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes. In organic liquid electrolytes, the highly lithiophobic LiF can suppress Li dendrite formation and growth. Electrolyte design aimed at forming LiF-rich interphases has substantially advanced high-energy aqueous and non-aqueous Li-ion batteries. The electrolyte and interphase design principles discussed here are also applicable to solid-state batteries, as a strategy to achieve long cycle life under low stack pressure, as well as to construct other metal batteries.

Abstract
The practical application of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2 ) cathodes at high voltages is hindered by the instability of the surface structure and side reactions with the electrolyte. Herein, we prepared a multifunctional hierarchical core@double-shell structured LiCoO2 (MS-LCO) cathode material using a scalable sol-gel method. The MS-LCO cathode material comprised an outer shell with fast lithium-ion conductivity, a La/Zr co-doped inner shell, and a bulk LiCoO2 core. The outermost shell prevented direct contact between the electrolyte and LiCoO2 core, which alleviated the electrolyte decomposition and loss of active cobalt, while the La/Zr co-doped shell improved the structural stability at higher voltages in a half-cell with a liquid electrolyte. The MS-LCO cathode exhibited a stable capacity of 163.1 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.5 C, and a high specific capacity of 166.8 mAh g-1 at 2 C. In addition, a solid lithium battery with the surface-passivated MS-LCO cathode and a polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based inorganic/organic composite electrolyte retained 85.8 % of its initial discharge capacity after 150 cycles at a charging cutoff voltage of 4.3 V. Thus, the introduction of a surface-passivating shell can effectively suppress the decomposition of PEO caused by highly reactive oxygen species in LiCoO2 at high voltages.

Abstract
During a practical battery manufacture process, the LiCoO2 (LCO) electrodes are usually rolled with high pressure to achieve better performance, including reducing electrode polarization, increasing compact density, enhancing mechanical toughness, etc. In this work, a high-voltage LCO (HV-LCO) is achieved via modulating a commercialized LCO with an Al/F enriched and spinel reinforced surface structure. We reveal that the rolling can more or less introduce risk of grain-boundary-cracking (GBC) inside the HV-LCO and accelerate the capacity decay when cycled at 3-4.6 V vs Li/Li+. In particular, the concept of interface structure is proposed to explain the reason for the deteriorated cycle stability. As the GBC is generated, the interface structure of HV-LCO alters from a surface spinel phase to a hybrid of surface spinel plus boundary layer phases, leading to the exposure of some the nonprotective layer phase against the electrolyte. This alternation causes serious bulk structure damage upon cycles, including expanding GBC among the primary crystals, forming intragranular cracks and inactive spinel phases inside the bulk regions, etc., eventually leading to the deteriorated cycle stability. Above all, we realize that it is far from enough to achieve a eligible high-voltage LCO via only applying surface modification. This work provides a new insight for developing more advanced LCO cathodes.

Abstract
Oxidative decomposition reactions of common cyclic carbonates in the presence of BF4- anions were investigated using density functional theory. A polarized continuum model was utilized to model solvent effects in the oxidation of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) clusters. We have found that the presence of BF4- significantly reduces EC and PC oxidation stability, from 7.11 to 6.17 and from 7.10 to 6.06 V (vs Li+/Li), respectively. The sequence of EC and PC oxidative decomposition paths and the oxidative products were affected by the BF4- anion. The decomposition products of the oxidized EC-BF4- contained CO2, vinyl alcohol, and acetaldehyde, while the decomposition products of the oxidized PC-BF4- contained CO2, acetone, and propanal, in agreement with the previous experimental studies. The oxidative decomposition reactions for PC-BF4- are compared with those for the isolated PC, PC2, PC-ClO4-, and PC-PF6-.

Abstract
Nitriles have been successfully used as electrolyte additives for performance improvement of commercialized lithium-ion batteries based on the LiCoO2 cathode, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this work, we present an insight into the contribution of nitriles via experimental and theoretical investigations, taking for example succinonitrile. It is found that succinonitrile can be oxidized together with PF6- preferentially on LiCoO2 compared to the solvents in the electrolyte, making it possible to avoid the formation of hydrogen fluoride from the electrolyte oxidation decomposition, which is detrimental to the LiCoO2 cathode. Additionally, inorganic LiF and -NH group-containing polymers are formed from the preferential oxidation of succinonitrile, constructing a protective interphase on LiCoO2, which suppresses electrolyte oxidation decomposition and prevents LiCoO2 from structural deterioration. Consequently, the LiCoO2 cathode presents excellent stability under cycling and storing at high voltages.

Abstract
The nickel-rich cathode LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 (NCM811) possesses the advantages of high reversible specific capacity and low cost, thus regarded as a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the capacity of the NCM811 decays rapidly at high voltage due to the extremely unstable electrode/electrolyte interphase. The discharge capability at low temperature is also impaired because of the increasing interfacial impedance. Herein, a low-cost film-forming electrolyte additive with multi-function, phenylboronic acid (PBA), was employed to modify the interphasial properties of the NCM811 cathode. Theoretical calculation and experimental results showed that PBA constructed a highly conductive and steady cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) film through preferential oxidation decomposition, which greatly improved the interfacial properties of the NCM811 cathode at room (25 °C) and low temperature (-10 °C). Specifically, the capacity retention of NCM811/Li cell was increased from 68 % to 87 % after 200 cycles with PBA additive. Moreover, the NCM811/Li cell with PBA additive delivered higher discharge capacity under -10 °C at 0.5 C (173.7 mAh g-1 vs. 111.1 mAh g-1 ). Based on the improvement of NCM811 interphasial properties by additive PBA, the capacity retention of NCM811/graphite full-cell was enhanced from 49 % to 65 % after 200 cycles.

Abstract
The rate capability of lithium-ion batteries is highly dependent on the interphase chemistry of graphite anodes. Herein, we demonstrate an anode interphase tailoring based on a novel electrolyte additive, lithium dodecyl sulfate (LiDS), which greatly improves the rate capability and cyclic stability of graphite anodes. Upon application of 1% LiDS in a base electrolyte, the discharge capacity at 2 C is improved from 102 to 240 mAh g-1 and its capacity retention is enhanced from 51% to 94% after 200 cycles at 0.5 C. These excellent performances are attributed to the preferential absorption of LiDS and the as-constructed interphase chemistry that is mainly composed of organic long-chain polyether and inorganic lithium sulfite. The long-chain polyether possesses flexibility endowing the interphase with robustness, while its combination with inorganic lithium sulfite accelerates lithium intercalation/deintercalation kinetics via decreasing the resistance for charge transfer.

Abstract
1,2,3,4-Tetrakis(2-cyanoethoxy)butane (TCEB) is first evaluated as a functional electrolyte additive to increase the charge cutoff voltage and energy density of pouch LiCO2 (LCO)/artificial graphite (AG) lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) at a high temperature of 45 °C. The charge (0.7 C) and discharge (1 C) tests show that TCEB effectively improves the cycle stability of cells under a high charge cutoff voltage of 4.5 V. At 25 °C, the capacity retention of the cells with TCEB increases from 0.0% to 72.1% after 1200 cycles. At 45 °C, the capacity retention of the cells without TCEB after 50 cycles is close to 0.0%, while the capacity retention of the cells with TCEB is still 81.6%, even after 350 cycles. The spectroscopic characterization results demonstrate that the TCEB electrolyte additive participates in the construction of a self-repair electrode/electrolyte interface film. Subsequently, low impedance and strong protective layers are formed on the two electrode surfaces. The quantitative analysis results and a theoretical calculation also show that TCEB effectively inhibits the dissolution of Co3+ and maintains the structural integrity of electrode materials. These results indicate that TCEB endows LIBs with excellent cycle stability and is a promising electrolyte additive for the high-voltage and high-temperature conditions of LCO-based LIBs.

Abstract
In this work, a novel high-voltage electrolyte additive, tetraethylthiophene-2,5-diylbismethylphosphonate (TTD), was synthesized, and the influence of TTD on the electrolyte and its electrochemical performance under different voltages were studied by changing the content of the TTD additive. The results showed that the TTD additive significantly improved the capacity, cycle stability, and rate capability of batteries when charging/discharging at high voltages. After adding 1 % TTD to the basic electrolyte, the capacity retention rate of batteries after 200 cycles at 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 V increased by 20.8, 18.3, 50, and 31.9 %, respectively. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed that TTD could effectively inhibit the decomposition of the electrolyte and participate in the formation of a uniform, thin, and stable cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) film on the electrode surface, thereby effectively inhibiting the side reaction between the electrolyte decomposition product and the CEI membrane, and finally improving the high-voltage performance of the battery. The TTD additive may provide a cost-effective solution for high-performance high-voltage electrolytes.

Abstract
Since the advent of the Li ion batteries (LIBs), the energy density has been tripled, mainly attributed to the increase of the electrode capacities. Now, the capacity of transition metal oxide cathodes is approaching the limit due to the stability limitation of the electrolytes. To further promote the energy density of LIBs, the most promising strategies are to enhance the cut-off voltage of the prevailing cathodes or explore novel high-capacity and high-voltage cathode materials, and also replacing the graphite anode with Si/Si-C or Li metal. However, the commercial ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes with relatively low anodic stability of ∼4.3 V vs. Li+/Li cannot sustain high-voltage cathodes. The bottleneck restricting the electrochemical performance in Li batteries has veered towards new electrolyte compositions catering for aggressive next-generation cathodes and Si/Si-C or Li metal anodes, since the oxidation-resistance of the electrolytes and the in situ formed cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers at the high-voltage cathodes and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers on anodes critically control the electrochemical performance of these high-voltage Li batteries. In this review, we present a comprehensive and in-depth overview on the recent advances, fundamental mechanisms, scientific challenges, and design strategies for the novel high-voltage electrolyte systems, especially focused on stability issues of the electrolytes, the compatibility and interactions between the electrolytes and the electrodes, and reaction mechanisms. Finally, novel insights, promising directions and potential solutions for high voltage electrolytes associated with effective SEI/CEI layers are proposed to motivate revolutionary next-generation high-voltage Li battery chemistries.

Abstract
The beneficial role of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl) phosphate (LiTMSP), which may act as a novel bifunctional additive for high-voltage LiNi1.5Mn0.5O4 (LNMO)/graphite cells, has been investigated. LiTMSP is synthesized by heating tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphate with lithium tert-butoxide. The cycle performance of LNMO/graphite cells at 45 °C significantly improved upon incorporation of LiTMSP (0.5 wt %). Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis suggests that the trimethylsilyl (TMS) group in LiTMSP can react with hydrogen fluoride (HF), which is generated through the hydrolysis of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) by residual water in an electrolyte solution or water generated via oxidative electrolyte decomposition reactions to form TMS fluoride. Inhibition of HF leads to a decrease in the concentration of transition-metal ion-dissolution (Ni and Mn) from the LNMO electrode, as determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. In addition, the generation of the superior passivating surface film derived by LiTMSP on the graphite electrode, suppressing further electrolyte reductive decomposition as well as deterioration/reformation caused by migrated transition metal ions, is supported by a combination of chronoamperometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, a LiTMSP-derived surface film has better lithium ion conductivity with a decrease in resistance of the graphite electrode, as confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, leading to improvement in the rate performance of LNMO/graphite cells. The HF-scavenging and film-forming effects of LiTMPS are responsible for the less polarization of LNMO/graphite cells enabling improved cycle performance at 45 °C.

Abstract
High-voltage lithium metal batteries (HVLMBs) have received widespread attention as next generation high-energy-density batteries to meet the urgent demands of modern life. However, the unstable interphase between electrolytes and highly reactive electrodes is still an important threshold for practical applications. In this feature article, we review the formation mechanism of the electrode-electrolyte interphase in terms of cathodes and the Li metal anode, respectively, and summarize the surface modification methods to stabilize the interphase of HVLMBs. Electrolyte regulation strategies especially those using electrolyte additives are introduced, and the relationship between liquid electrolyte formulation, interphase engineering and the electrochemical performance of HVLMBs is analyzed. Finally, an industry-level evaluation is carried out and the remaining challenges are discussed for advanced electrolytes to guarantee the practical applications and commercialization of HVLMBs.

Abstract
As the power supply of the prosperous new energy products, advanced lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are widely applied to portable energy equipment and large-scale energy storage systems. To broaden the applicable range, considerable endeavours have been devoted towards improving the energy and power density of LIBs. However, the side reaction caused by the close contact between the electrode (particularly the cathode) and the electrolyte leads to capacity decay and structural degradation, which is a tricky problem to be solved. In order to overcome this obstacle, the researchers focused their attention on electrolyte additives. By adding additives to the electrolyte, the construction of a stable cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) between the cathode and the electrolyte has been proven to competently elevate the overall electrochemical performance of LIBs. However, how to choose electrolyte additives that match different cathode systems ideally to achieve stable CEI layer construction and high-performance LIBs is still in the stage of repeated experiments and exploration. This article specifically introduces the working mechanism of diverse electrolyte additives for forming a stable CEI layer and summarizes the latest research progress in the application of electrolyte additives for LIBs with diverse cathode materials. Finally, we tentatively set forth recommendations on the screening and customization of ideal additives required for the construction of robust CEI layer in LIBs. We believe this minireview will have a certain reference value for the design and construction of stable CEI layer to realize desirable performance of LIBs.

Abstract
High-voltage cathodes provide a promising solution to the energy density limitation of currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries, but they are unstable in electrolytes during the charge/discharge process. To address this issue, we propose a novel electrolyte additive, pentafluorophenyltriethoxysilane (TPS), which is rich in elemental F and contains elemental Si. The effectiveness of TPS has been demonstrated by cycling a representative high-voltage cathode, LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO), in 1.0 M LiPF6-diethyl carbonate/ethylene carbonate/ethyl methyl carbonate (2/3/5 in weight). LNMO presents an increased capacity retention from 28 to 85% after 400 cycles at 1 C by applying 1 wt % TPS. Further electrochemical measurements combined with spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations indicate that TPS can not only construct a robust protective cathode electrolyte interphase via its oxidation during initial lithium desertion but also scavenge the detrimental hydrogen fluoride (HF) present in the electrolyte via its strong combination with the species HF, F-, and H+, highly stabilizing LNMO during the charge/discharge process. These features of TPS provide a new solution to the obstacle in the practical application of high-voltage cathodes not limited to LNMO.

Abstract
The flexible radio frequency (RF) wireless antennas used as sensors, which can detect signal variation resulting from the deformation of the antenna, have attracted increasing attention with the development of wearable electronic devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, miniaturization and sensitivity issues restrict the development of flexible RF sensors. In this work, we demonstrate the application of a flexible and highly conductive graphene-assembled film (GAF) for antenna design. The GAF with a high conductivity of 106 S/m has the advantages of light weight, high flexibility, and superb mechanical stability. As a result, a small-size (50 mm × 50 mm) and flexible GAF-based antenna operating at 3.13-4.42 GHz is achieved, and this GAF antenna-based wireless wearable sensor shows high strain sensitivities of 34.9 for tensile bending and 35.6 for compressive bending. Furthermore, this sensor exhibits good mechanical flexibility and structural stability after a 100-cycle bending test when attached to the back of the hand and the wrist, which demonstrates broad application prospects in health-monitoring devices, electronic skins, and smart robotics.

Abstract
We report a novel electrolyte additive, bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide, that effectively stabilizes high-voltage lithium-rich oxide cathode. Charge/discharge tests demonstrate that even trace amounts of bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide in a baseline electrolyte improve the cycling stability of this cathode significantly, either in Li-based half cells or graphite-based full cells, where the capacity retention after 200 cycles between 2 and 4.8 V at 0.5C is enhanced from 40 to 72% and 49 to 77%, respectively. Analyses using physical characterization and theoretical calculations reveal that this additive not only builds a protective film on the cathode but also eliminates detrimental hydrogen fluoride via its strong coordination with hydrogen fluoride or protons.
