Abstract
Highlights Cetyltrimethylammonium cations can shield the repelling force on anions to attract more anions into electric double layer region during lithium plating process, facilitating the formation of inorganic-rich solid-state electrolyte interphase (SEI). An inorganic-rich (N/F-containing species) structure of SEI can be evidenced by the in-depth analysis. The cycling lifetime of Li||Li symmetric cell in the designed electrolyte can be extended from 500 to 1300 h. Moreover, full cells with a high cathode mass loading of >10 mg cm-2 can be stably cycled over 180 cycles.
