Engineering a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is one of the critical maneuvers in improving the performance of a lithium anode for high-energy-density rechargeable lithium batteries. Herein, we build a fluorinated lithium/sodium hybrid interphase via a facile electroless electrolyte-soaking approach to stabilize the repeated plating/stripping of lithium metal. Jointed experimental and computational characterizations reveal that the fluorinated hybrid SEI mainly consisting of NaF, LiF, LiPOF, and organic components features a mosaic polycrystalline structure with enriched grain boundaries and superior interfacial properties toward Li. This LiF/NaF hybrid SEI exhibits improved ionic conductivity and mechanical strength in comparison to the SEI without NaF. Remarkably, the fluorinated hybrid SEI enables an extended dendrite-free cycling of metallic Li over 1300 h at a high areal capacity of 10 mAh cm in symmetrical cells. Furthermore, full cells based on the LiFePO cathode and hybrid SEI-protected Li anode sustain long-term stability and good capacity retention (96.70% after 200 cycles) at 0.5 C. This work could provide a new avenue for designing robust multifunctional SEI to upgrade the metallic lithium anode.

The random distribution of organic-phases (OPs) and inorganic-phases (IOPs) in native solid electrolyte interface (SEI) derived a sluggish Li-ion de-solvation and transmission, impairing the high-rate performance of lithium metal anodes (LMAs). Herein, a multiphases gradient distribution hybrid interface is constructed on metallic Li by surface chemical reconstruction. Theoretical simulations and experiments verify that the Li-ion unloading and infiltrating behaviors are tuned by functional complementary effects, enabling speedy kinetics.

The energy industry has taken notice of zinc-iodine (Zn-I) batteries for their high safety, low cost, and attractive energy density. However, the shuttling of I by-products at cathode electrode and dendrite issues at Zn metal anode result in short cycle lifespan. Here, a tripartite synergistic optimization strategy is proposed, involving a MXene cathode host, a n-butanol electrolyte additive, and the in-situ solid electrolyte interface (SEI) protection.

Silicon anodes deliver batteries with energy densities much higher than those based on today's dominant graphite anodes. However, they commonly exhibit huge volume variations and unfavorable interface stability, causing a gradually diminishing capacity on extended cycling. Most Si-based batteries consisting Si/C composites in industry can only use a very limited amount of Si (<30 % by weight).
