High-energy-density lithium (Li) metal batteries are severely hindered by the dendritic Li deposition dictated by non-uniform solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Despite its unique advantages in improving the uniformity of Li deposition, the current anion-derived SEI is unsatisfactory under practical conditions. Herein regulating the electrolyte structure of anions by anion receptors was proposed to construct stable anion-derived SEI. Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (TPFPB) anion acceptors with electron-deficient boron atoms interact with bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide anions (FSI ) and decrease the reduction stability of FSI . Furthermore, the type of aggregate cluster of FSI in electrolyte changes, FSI interacting with more Li ions in the presence of TPFPB. Therefore, the decomposition of FSI to form Li S is promoted, improving the stability of anion-derived SEI. In working Li | LiNi Co Mn O batteries under practical conditions, the anion-derived SEI with TPFPB undergoes 194 cycles compared with 98 cycles of routine anion-derived SEI. This work inspires a fresh ground to construct stable anion-derived SEI by manipulating the electrolyte structure of anions.

Low-temperature zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) are highly challenged by Zn dendrite growth, especially at high current density. Here, starting from the intermolecular insights, we report a cation-anion association modulation strategy by matching different dielectric constant solvents and unveil the relationship between cation-anion association strength and Zn plating/stripping performance at low temperatures. The combination of comprehensive characterizations and theoretical calculations indicates that moderate ion association electrolytes with high ionic conductivity (12.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising ionic conductors for developing high-specific-energy solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, developing SPEs with both high ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility remains a challenge. Here, we propose a design concept of an anion-modulated polymer electrolyte (termed AMPE) for high-voltage Li metal batteries.

The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in extending the life of aqueous batteries. The traditional anion-derived SEI formation in aqueous electrolytes highly depends on high-concentrated organic fluorinating salts, resulting in low forming efficiency and long-term consumption. In response, this study proposes a bifunctional fluorocarbon electrode additive (BFEA) that enables electrochemical pre-reduction instead of TFSI anion to form the LiF-rich SEI and in situ produce conductive graphite inside the anode before the lithiation.

The lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction (Li-NRR) is a promising green alternative to the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis. The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is crucial for high efficiency and stability, as it regulates reactant diffusion and suppresses side reactions. The SEI properties are greatly influenced by the Li ion solvation structure, which is controllable through electrolyte engineering.
