AbstractLithium metal batteries are expected to enable high energy density applications in electrified transportation and grid storage. However, lithium metal components suffer from severe interfacial instabilities, leading to efficiency losses and serious safety concerns. In the region between the negative electrode and the liquid electrolyte, a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is produced by the spontaneous breakdown of electrolyte compounds. The SEI in lithium metal batteries is hypothesized to pla
