Solubility-mediated sustained release enabling nitrate additive in carbonate electrolytes for stable lithium metal anode
Abstract
The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is one of the governing factors for the reversibility of Li metal anode. Here, the authors reveal the impact of nitrate additive on the SEI in carbonate electrolytes, and demonstrate a method to overcome the solubility limitation of nitrate.
