Recent advances in nanoengineering of electrode-electrolyte interfaces
to realize high-performance Li-ion batteries
Abstract
A suitable interface between the electrode and electrolyte is crucial in
achieving highly stable electrochemical performance for Li-ion
batteries, as facile ionic transport is required. Recently, intriguing
research and development have been carried out to form a stable
interface between the electrode and electrolyte. Therefore, it is
essential to investigate emerging knowledge and contextualize it. The
nanoengineering of the electrode-electrolyte interface has been actively
researched both at the electrode/electrolyte and interphase levels,
which calls for significant attention. This review presents and
summarizes some recent advances aimed at nanoengineering approaches to
build a more stable electrode-electrolyte interface and assess the
impact of each approach adopted. Furthermore, future perspectives on the
feasibility and practicality of each approach will also be reviewed in
detail. Finally, this review aids in projecting a more sustainable
research pathway for a nanoengineered interphase design between
electrode and electrolyte, which is pivotal for high-performance,
thermally stable Li-ion batteries.
