Sodium dual-ion batteries (Na-DIBs) have attracted increasing attention due to their high operative voltages and low-cost raw materials. However, the practical applications of Na-DIBs are still hindered by the issues, such as low capacity and poor Coulombic efficiency, which is highly correlated with the compatibility between electrode and electrolyte but rarely investigated. Herein, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) is introduced into the electrolyte to regulate cation/anion solvation structure and the stability of cathode/anode-electrolyte interphase of Na-DIBs. The FEC modulates the environment of PF solvation sheath and facilitates the interaction of PF on graphite. In addition, the NaF-rich interphase caused by the preferential decomposition of FEC effectively inhibits side reactions and pulverization of anodes with the electrolyte. Consequently, Sb||graphite full cells in FEC-containing electrolyte achieve an improved capacity, cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency. This work elucidates the underlying mechanism of bifunctional FEC and provides an alternative strategy of building high-performance dual ion batteries.

The interfacial reaction of a silicon anode is very complex, which is closely related with the electrolyte components and surface elements' chemical status of the Si anode. It is crucial to elucidate the formation mechanism of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the silicon anode, which promotes the development of a stable SEI. However, the interface reaction mechanism on the silicon surface is closely related to the surface components.

Micrometer-sized silicon oxide (SiO) anodes encounter challenges in large-scale applications due to significant volume expansion during the alloy/de-alloy process. Herein, an innovative deep eutectic electrolyte derived from succinonitrile is introduced to enhance the cycling stability of SiO anodes. Density functional theory calculations validate a robust ion-dipole interaction between lithium ions (Li) and succinonitrile (SN).

Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) presents an opportunity to replace elemental sulfur as a "shuttle-free" cathode for secondary Li-S batteries, which can be an ideal choice for stationary energy storage due to its abundance, low cost, and sustainability. The electrolyte options for the state-of-the-art SPAN batteries have been limited to the flammable carbonate and ether ones, which raises safety concerns. Here, we explored the use of a non-flammable acetonitrile (AN) electrolyte for SPAN battery for the first time and identified the irreversible cleavage of C-S bonds of SPAN as the main reason for the failure of SPAN in AN electrolyte.

Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries has attracted growing attentions in large-scale energy storage technology, while the serious shuttle effect and interface side reaction limit its practical application. Despite fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) has been widely used as an electrolyte additive or co-solvent to facilitate the optimization of electrode-electrolyte interphase in RT Na-S batteries, its crucial influence and mechanism have not been clearly understood. Herein, we deeply reveal the two-steps cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) formation by using FEC as the exclusive electrolyte solvent.

The development of high-energy-density Li metal batteries is limited by the uncontrollable growth of Li dendrites and an unstable Li/electrolyte interface during long-term Li plating/stripping. In this work, using high-concentration fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) electrolyte, an LiF-rich interface layer was generated on the Li metal surface. This LiF-rich interface layer could effectively inactivate the high reactivity of the Li metal surface and suppress lithium dendrite growth, forming a uniform and dense structure at the Li/electrolyte interface to stabilize Li metal batteries.
