These biased MD simulations will constitute a major advancement in our understanding of the reaction mechanism that drive the long-term growth of the SEI. In summary, a better molecular understanding of electrolyte decomposition reactions would further our understanding of the SEI growth and capacity loss of lithium-ion batteries.
The electrolyte molecules, including additives, could decompose at the electrode surface, which contributes to the formation of solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs) that have key impacts on battery performance [6, 22].
In principle, lead–acid rechargeable batteries are relatively simple energy storage devices based on the lead electrodes that operate in aqueous electrolytes with sulfuric acid, while the details of the charging and discharging processes are complex and pose a number of challenges to efforts to improve their performance.
The technical challenges facing lead–acid batteries are a consequence of the complex interplay of electrochemical and chemical processes that occur at multiple length scales. Atomic-scale insight into the processes that are taking place at electrodes will provide the path toward increased efficiency, lifetime, and capacity of lead–acid batteries.
In summary, a better molecular understanding of electrolyte decomposition reactions would further our understanding of the SEI growth and capacity loss of lithium-ion batteries. This molecular understanding could ultimately lead to the design of better batteries.
Despite the importance of the SEI and its growth, the atomistic understanding of the underlying elementary reaction steps remains partial. Molecular modeling of the electrolyte decomposition is key to gain detailed insights that are complementary to experiments for the reactions occurring in this heterogenous interphase.
