Tailoring Electrode-Electrolyte Interfaces in Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Molecularly Engineered Functional Polymers.

Electrode-electrolyte interfaces (EEIs) affect the rate capability, cycling stability, and thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Designing stable EEIs with fast Li transport is crucial for developing advanced LIBs. Here, we study Li kinetics at EEIs tailored by three nanoscale polymer thin films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization.
